Two broad strategies for dealing with change are to conform or regulate. Conforming is when an organism allows their internal environment to fluctuate with the external environment. Regulating is when an organism attempts to regulate or maintain a constant internal environment despite any environmental fluctuations. Both approaches have procs and cons, leading to the diversity of organisms we see on earth.

Osmoregulation is the process of maintenance of salt and water balance (osmotic balance) across membranes within the body’s fluids, which are composed of water, plus electrolytes and non-electrolytes.
