← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism minimizes water loss when marine fish osmoregulate?
A)Active transport through chloride cells
B)Reabsorption across the nephron tubules✓
C)Secretion via Malpighian tubules
D)Storage of Nitrogenous waste as urea
💡 Explanation
Reabsorption across the nephron tubules conserves water because it returns water from the forming urine to the bloodstream; therefore, very little volume is lost relative to the salt excreted, rather than osmotic processes continuing unchecked.
