Question

Aquatic organisms whose osmotic concentration of the body fluids change with that of the ambient water osmotic concentration are:

• A. Osmoregulator
• B. Thermoconformers
• C. Osmoconformers
• D. Thermoregulator

Answer 1

The correct option is C Osmoconformers

The plants and animals in which the osmotic concentration and temperature of the body changes according to the ambient conditions of water are called conformers. They are thermoconformers for temperature and osmoconformers for osmotic concentration.
While some organisms are able to maintain a constant body temperature and constant osmotic concentration despite changes in the external environment, they are called regulators.They are thermoregulators for temperature and thermoconformers for osmotic concentration.
