Resumen

El pez negro (Orthodon microlepidotus) utiliza los arcos branquiales como barreras, no como filtros, dirigiendo el agua cargada de partículas al techo de la cavidad oral para su retención. Esto desafía las suposiciones anteriores sobre los mecanismos de captura de partículas de peces alimentados en suspensión.

Osmoregulation in Fishes

When cells are placed in a hypotonic (low-salt) fluid, they can swell and burst. Meanwhile, cells in a hypertonic solution—with a higher salt concentration—can shrivel and die. How do fish cells avoid these gruesome fates in hypotonic freshwater or hypertonic seawater environments?

Colloids and Suspensions

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles visible to the naked eye or seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. The suspended particles in a suspension settle out after some time of mixing. The separation of particles from a suspension is...
