How is osmoregulation related to homeostasis?
Osmoregulation is a necessary funtion in order for an organism to regulate the quantity of fluid within its tissues/cells. Without Osmoregulation an organism's fluids may become too concentrated, or too diluted, to carry out normal life functions.
Is the urinary system responsible for osmoregulation?
Yes it is since when one excretes, the kidney releases excess water from the excretory system hence osmoregulation takes place.
What geological period has the oldest terrestrial insect fossils found in rocks?
The oldest terrestrial insect fossils are found in rocks dating back to the Devonian Period, approximately 400 million years ago. These fossils provide insight into the early evolution and diversification of insects on land.
Where does osmoregulation occur?
Osmoregulation occurs primarily in the kidneys in most animals. It involves the regulation of water and solute concentrations in the body to maintain internal balance. Additionally, osmoregulation can also occur in other organs such as the gills in fish and the Malpighian tubules in insects.
Is venus jovian or terrestrial?
