Which process enables marine bony fish to maintain osmotic balance in seawater?

💡 Explanation

In saltwater, bony fish use active transport,specifically chloride cells in the gills, to excrete excess salt accumulated through osmosis because they live in a hypertonic environment. Therefore active transport across gills enables osmotic balance, rather than increased urine, decreased absorption which have opposing and scales is protective

• Which aerodynamic consequence results when a soaring bird experiences thermal inversion layering with increasing altitude?
• Which consequence results when rising average air temperature reduces rubisco specificity for carbon dioxide?
• Which navigational outcome influences salmon migration 'homing' using terrestrial chemical maps?
• Which outcome minimizes photorespiration effects when rubisco concentration surpasses substrate availability within plant cells?
• Which risk increases when gas bladder in a fish expands rapidly at shallow depths?
