    Enantiostasis

    But then again, you don't really have to be that specific in answering the question. The markers really want you to know the importance of enantiostasis, not what individual species excrete. They are not going to ask you to name the compound that marine fish excrete.

    Enantiostasis

    Alright alright! I just looked up my first year biology text book. Freshwater fish excrete Ammonia, while marine (salt water) fish excrete urea. Fresh water fish takes in Na+ ions from the water in exchange for NH4+. Marine species (including fish) simply do not have access to enough...

    49/50 - Scaled or Aligned?

    But a full raw mark cannot be aligned to a lower aligned mark. So therefore, the full raw mark is automatically "aligned" to a full aligned mark.
