Question

excess water in a whales mouth is
select one:
a. forced out the blowhole
b. channeled to the kidneys
c. forced out of the mouth with the tongue

why can bony fish stay still in the water?

select one:
a. they are lighter than water
b. the swim bladder
c. the movement of their tail

Explanation:

1. For the whale question: The blowhole is used for breathing, not expelling mouth water; kidneys process internal fluids, not mouth water. Baleen whales use their tongue to force excess water out of their mouth while trapping prey with baleen.
2. For the bony fish question: Bony fish are not lighter than water; tail movement is for propulsion, not staying still. The swim bladder adjusts buoyancy to let them remain stationary.

Answer:

1. c. forced out of the mouth with the tongue
2. b. the swim bladder
