Osmoregulation
hypotonic
 Water balance vs. Habitat

freshwater
 hypotonic to body fluids
 water flow into cells & salt loss

saltwater
 hypertonic to body fluids
 water loss from cells

land
hypertonic
 dry environment
 need to conserve water
 may also need to conserve salt
Why do all land animals have to conserve water?
 always lose water (breathing & waste)
AP
may
lose life while searching for water
Biology
Intracellular Waste
 What waste products
Animals
poison themselves
from the inside
by digesting
proteins!
are made inside of cells?

what do we digest our food into…
 CO2 + H2O
 lipids = CHO  CO2 + H2O
 proteins = CHON CO2 + H2O + N
 carbohydrates = CHO
lots!
very
little
 nucleic acids = CHOPN CO2 + H2O + P + N
cellular digestion…

Nitrogenous waste disposal
 Ammonia (NH3)

very toxic
 carcinogenic

very soluble
 easily crosses membranes

must dilute it & get rid of it… fast!
 How you get rid of nitrogenous wastes depends on

who you are (evolutionary relationship)

where you live (habitat)
aquatic
AP Biology
terrestrial
terrestrial egg layer
Nitrogen waste
 Aquatic organisms


can afford to lose water
ammonia
 most toxic
 Terrestrial


need to conserve
water
urea
 less toxic
 Terrestrial egg
layers



need to conserve water
need to protect
embryo in egg
uric acid
AP Biology
 least toxic
Freshwater animals
 Hypotonic environment

water diffuses into cells
 Manage water & waste together

remove surplus water & waste
 use surplus water to dilute ammonia & excrete it
 also diffuse ammonia continuously through gills

overcome loss of salts
 reabsorb in kidneys or active transport across gills

Land animals
 Nitrogen waste disposal on land

H
need to conserve water
 must process ammonia so less toxic

N
 urea = larger molecule = less soluble = less toxic
 2NH2 + CO2 = urea
Urea
 produced in liver
costs energy

kidney
to synthesize,
but it’s worth it!
 filter solutes out of blood
 reabsorb H2O (+ any useful solutes)
 excrete waste
 urine = urea, salts, excess sugar & H2O

AP Biology

urine is very concentrated
concentrated NH3 would be too toxic
mammals
O
Egg-laying land animals
 Nitrogen waste disposal in egg
no place to get rid of waste in egg
 need even less soluble molecule

 uric acid = BIGGER = less soluble = less toxic

birds, reptiles, insects
itty bitty
living space!
AP Biology
Uric acid
 Polymerized urea
And that folks,
is why most
male birds don’t
have a penis!
large molecule
 precipitates out of solution

 doesn’t harm embryo in egg
 white dust in egg
 adults still excrete N waste as white paste
 no liquid waste
 uric acid = white bird “poop”!

Mammalian System
blood
 Filter solutes out of blood & reabsorb
filtrate
H2O + desirable solutes
 Key functions

filtration
 fluids (water & solutes) filtered out
of blood

reabsorption
 selectively reabsorb (diffusion) needed
water + solutes back to blood

secretion
 pump out any other unwanted solutes to
urine

excretion
 expel concentrated urine (N waste +
AP Biology
solutes + toxins) from body
concentrated
urine
Mammalian Kidney

AP Biology

Nephron
 Functional units of kidney

1 million nephrons
per kidney
 Function


filter out urea & other
solutes (salt, sugar…)
blood plasma filtered
into nephron
 high pressure flow

selective reabsorption of
valuable solutes & H2O
back into bloodstream
AP Biology 
greater flexibility & control
why
selective reabsorption
& not selective
filtration?
“counter current
exchange system”
How can
different sections
allow the diffusion
of different
molecules?
Mammalian kidney

excretory systems

AP Biology
 cells
 proteins
high blood pressure in kidneys
force to push (filter) H2O & solutes
out of blood vessel
BIG problems when you start out
with high blood pressure in system
hypertension = kidney damage
Nephron: Re-absorption
 Proximal tubule


blood pH

 no Na+ or Cl– channels
 impermeable

Osmotic control in nephron
 How is all this re-absorption achieved?
tight osmotic
control to reduce
the energy cost
of excretion
 use diffusion
instead of
active transport
wherever possible

the value of a
counter current
exchange system

 Reabsorbed back to blood: active transport
