Which process enables desert rodents to conserve water through nasal passages?

💡 Explanation

When desert rodents exhale, countercurrent heat exchange occurs because cool nasal passages condense water vapor from their breath helping to retain much-needed moisture. Therefore rodents minimize water loss, rather than increasing urine production, absorbing water from skin or bacterial urea decomposition, which targets nitrogen regulation.
