Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmoconformers are organisms that have body fluids with the same salt concentration as their environment. Lobsters, being marine animals living in a high salinity environment, adapt to their surroundings by maintaining the internal concentration of ions (such as Na+, Cl-, K+, and Ca2+) similar to that of the seawater. Therefore, the lobster is most likely to be an osmoconformer.
