What is the difference between osmoconformers and osmoregulators?



Answer:

Osmoconformers: match osmolarity to environment = needs less energy as it minimises water movement (jellyfish) Osmoregulators: maintains a constant internal osmolarity + independent BUT needs more energy as the conditions are more controlled (mammals)
