Use the tаble belоw tо аnswer questiоn: Mаrine birds are constantly exposed to high salinity (salt) water. To survive, they must get rid of excess salt, which enters their bodies when they consume seawater. This is accomplished through a cellular process in their salt glands known as______________________, which moves substances such as salt against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration using ATP. This enables marine birds and reptiles to excrete salt without losing water thereby maintaining homeostasis.
