Retrieve your animal tissue specimens. if you have an edmentum lab kit, your specimens are frog skin, human cardiac (heart) muscle, and human red blood cells. as you did with the protist slide, start with the lowest magnification and record what you see. identify the structure of the tissue and whether you can see any individual cells and cell structures. repeat with the next two magnification settings. in the answer space, write down what you observed for each sample under each magnification

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
