Water Availability
• The tendency of water to move down concentration gradients, and the magnitude of those gradients, determine whether an organism tends to lose or gain water from its environment. Must consider an organism’s microclimate
in order to understand its water relations.

Water Content of Air
• Evaporation accounts for much of water lost by terrestrial organisms. As water vapor in the air increases, the
water concentration gradient from organisms to air is reduced, thus evaporative loss is decreased.
Evaporative coolers work best in dry climates.

Water Movement in Aquatic Environments
• Water moves down concentration gradient. Water is more concentrated in freshwater
environments than in the oceans.• Aquatic organisms can be viewed as an
aqueous solution bounded by a selectively permeable membrane floating in an another aqueous solution.

Water Movement in Aquatic Environments
• If two environments differ in water or salt concentrations, substances will tend to move down their concentration gradients. Diffusion
Osmosis: Water diffusion through a semipermeable membrane.

Water Movement in Aquatic Environment
• Isomotic: Body fluids and external fluid are at the same concentration.
• Hypoosmotic: Body fluids are at a higher concentration than the external environment. Water diffuses into body.
• Hyperosmotic: Body fluids are at a lower concentration than the external environment. Water diffuses out of body.

Water Movement Between Soils and Plants
plant = solute + matric + pressure
Matric Forces: Water’s tendency to adhere to container walls.
pressure is the reduction in water potential due to negative pressure created by water evaporating from leaves.
As long as plant > soil, water flows from the soil to the plant.

Water Regulation on Land
• Terrestrial organisms face (2) major challenges: Evaporative loss to environment. Reduced access to replacement water.

• Wia= Animal’s internal water
• Wd = Drinking
• Wf = Food
• Wa = Absorbed by air

Water Acquisition by Animals
• Most terrestrial animals satisfy their water needs via eating and drinking. Can also be gained via metabolism
through oxidation of glucose: C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O
Metabolic water refers to the water released during cellular respiration.

Water Conservation by Plants and Animals
• Many terrestrial organisms equipped with waterproof outer covering.
• Concentrated urine / feces.• Condensing water vapor in breath.• Behavioral modifications to avoid stress
times.• Drop leaves in response to drought.• Thick leaves• Few stomata• Periodic dormancy

Dissimilar Organisms with Similar Approaches to Desert Life
• Camels Can withstand water loss up to 20%.
Face into sun to reduce exposure. Thick hair: Increased body temperature
lowers heat gradient.• Saguaro Cactus
Trunk / arms act as water storage organs. Dense network of shallow roots. Reduces evaporative loss.

Two Arthropods with Opposite Approaches to Desert Life
• Scorpions Slow down, conserve, and stay out of sun. Long-lived Low metabolic rates
• Cicadas (Diceroprocta apache) Active on hottest days. Perch on branch tips (cooler microclimates). Reduce abdomen temp by feeding on xylem
fluid of pinyon pine trees.

Water and Salt Balance in Aquatic Environments
• Marine Fish and Invertebrates Isomotic organisms do not have to expend
energy overcoming osmotic gradient. Sharks, skates, rays - Elevate blood
solute concentrations hyperosmotic to seawater.
Slowly gain water osmotically. Marine bony fish are strongly
hypoosmotic, thus need to drink seawater for salt influx.

Osmoregulation by Marine Organisms

Water and Salt Balance in Aquatic Environments
• Freshwater Fish and Invertebrates Hyperosmotic organisms that excrete
excess internal water via large amounts of dilute urine.
Replace salts by absorbing sodium and chloride at base of gill filaments and by ingesting food.
