List and briefly explain three factors that determine the rate of passive exchange of water and ions. Answer: 1) The magnitudes of the osmotic and ionic gradients between the blood and ambient water; 2) the permeability of an animal’s outer body covering to water and ions; 3) the surface area across which exchange is occurring. Any change (increase or decrease) in these factors, will have an effect on the rate of passive exchange. Textbook Reference: Animals in Freshwater Bloom’s Category: 1. Remembering 2. Why is the permeability of a freshwater animal’s integument to water and ions relatively low? Answer: In freshwater animals, evolution selected for this low permeability because it reduces the rates of passive water and ion exchange and thus reduces the energy costs of maintaining a normal blood composition. Low permeability slows the processes that tend to bring the blood and ambient water to equilibrium. Textbook Reference: Animals in Freshwater Bloom’s Category: 2. Understanding 3. Describe the structure of the gills and explain another role they serve, in addition to being respiratory organs. Answer: The gills of teleost fish carry out two major functions that serve homeostasis. In both freshwater and seawater, the gills function both as ion-regulatory organs and as gas- exchange organs. The gills are the principle sites where Na+ and Cl– are taken up from freshwater. The microscopic structure of the filament consists of a thin, principal lamellar element bearing many folds called the secondary lamellae. The secondary lamellae are highly vascularized, increasing the surface area across which O2 and ions can move inward from the ambient water to the blood. Textbook Reference: Animals in Freshwater Bloom’s Category: 2. Understanding © 2016 Sinauer Associates, Inc. 4. Explain, in detail, the structure of gills in freshwater fish, from the largest structure to the smallest. Include the function of each structure. Answer: Within the feather of the gill, the microscopic structure of the filament consists of a thin, principal lamellar element supporting many folds known as the secondary lamellae. The secondary lamellae greatly increase the surface area across which O2 can diffuse from the ambient water into the blood. Within the cells of the lamellae there are abundant membrane proteins that are instrumental in ion transport between the blood and ambient water. Ion transport proteins, such as Na+–K+-ATPase and Na+, K+, Cl– cotransporters, are instrumental in maintaining chemical consistency of the blood. Textbook Reference: Animals in Freshwater Bloom’s Category: 1. Remembering 5. Explain how immunocytochemistry is used to study ion transport in animals. Answer: Immunocytochemistry, applied to transport proteins, is the principal method currently used to study gill ion-transport functions. Two fluor-labeled antibodies are used: one to bind Na+–K+-ATPase and another to bind the cotransporter protein NKCC-1. A gill filament is exposed to these antibodies, and then the filament is scanned with lasers that excite the fluors. The antibody against Na+–K+-ATPase glows one color, whereas that against NKCC-1 glows another color. An image of the fluorescing gill filament is taken and evaluated. One color indicates where Na+–K+-ATPase is located, and the other indicates where NKCC-1 is located. When both membrane proteins occur in approximately the same location, a third color, resulting from the combination of the two colors, appears. Textbook Reference: Animals in Freshwater Bloom’s Category: 2. Understanding 6. What conditions lead to an increase in the number of MRCs in the gills of fish? Answer: The number of MRCs in the gill epithelium of a fish increase in alkalosis (excess blood bicarbonate) conditions and the countertransport protein, Cl– /HCO3–, which exports HCO3– from the body fluids in exchange for Cl–, is upregulated. Low or decreased ambient Ca2+ concentrations also are associated with an increase in the number of MRCs in the gills. Textbook Reference: Animals in Freshwater Bloom’s Category: 2. Understanding 7. Why do freshwater fish make dilute urine? Answer: To save energy. When producing dilute urine, the kidneys start with a fluid that is as concentrated as blood plasma and actively extract Na+ and Cl– from it, lowering its ion concentrations. In contrast, the concentrations of Na+ and Cl– in the ambient water are always relatively low. Active uptake of Na+ or Cl– from a relatively concentrated source requires less energy per ion than uptake from a dilute source. Thus, removing ions from urine prior to excretion is less costly than replacing the same ions from the ambient water. Textbook Reference: Animals in Freshwater Bloom’s Category: 2. Understanding © 2016 Sinauer Associates, Inc. 8. Explain how teleosts can drink hyperosmotic seawater to replenish water loss by diffusion and excretion. Answer: In several species studied, ingested seawater travels through the esophagus, stomach, and anterior intestine, and Na+, Cl–, and H2O diffuse into the blood across the gut wall. Gradually, the ingested seawater in the gut expands in volume, becoming diluted. Na+ and Cl– are actively transported out of the gut into the blood. This active uptake of Na+ and Cl– into the blood creates conditions that favor the osmotic uptake of water. In other species, a process called near-isosmotic fluid transport occurs, in which the gut fluids and blood plasma remain approximately isosmotic as water moves briskly by osmosis into the blood; in this case, highly localized osmotic gradients within the intestinal epithelium are involved in translating ion uptake into water uptake. Aquaporins in the intestinal epithelia are instrumental in facilitating water uptake from the gut. Textbook Reference: Animals in the Ocean Bloom’s Category: 2. Understanding 9. Explain how rate of water loss is correlated with oxygen consumption. Answer: Rate of water loss is correlated with oxygen consumption because of respiratory evaporative water loss. This rate depends on an animal’s rate of O2 consumption and the amount of water lost per unit of O2 the animal consumes. Rate of water loss (mg H2O/hour) = rate of O2 consumption (mL O2/hour) water loss per unit of O2 consumed (mg H2O/mL O2) An animal’s rate of metabolism is thus a major determinant of its rate of evaporative water loss. The amount of water lost per unit of O2 consumed is affected by the temperature of the exhaled air (lower exhalant temperatures mean lower water loss) and the efficiency of the breathing organs at removing O2 from inhaled air. Textbook Reference: Responses to Drying of the Habitat in Aquatic Animals Bloom’s Category: 2. Understanding 10. Explain how amphibians compensate for water loss. Answer: Amphibians have an integument that poses little barrier to evaporative water loss. They incorporate waste nitrogen (from their high-protein diet) mostly into urea, a highly soluble compound that requires considerable amounts of water for its excretion. Although amphibians are notably adept at shutting off urine outflow when faced with dehydration, they are unable, when they do excrete urine, to produce urine that is more concentrated than their blood plasma. Most amphibians compensate for this by absorbing water across their skin. Many species can gain water at substantial rates by pressing their pelvic patch against moist soil. The water permeability of the pelvic patch is modulated by upregulating and downregulating aquaporins in the cell membranes. Textbook Reference: Animals on Land: Case Studies Bloom’s Category: 1.
