With named examples of snails, discuss any three marketable characteristics of snails and their possible uses.

Land snails, sea snails and fresh water snails are the main types of snails with over 40,000 different species in the world.

A Snail comprises of a high percentage of protein when compared to fat making it a good source and healthy meal for the cardiovascular parts of the body.

They also contain essential vitamins and minerals such as necessary for the metabolism of the body such as calcium, iron, selenium, magnesium and vitamins A,B12,E and K which help as strong antioxidants.

They also contain vitamin minerals which helps to boost the immune system.

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
