Osmoconformers cannot regulate the solutes in their body fluids at a concentration different from that of the external medium because their bodies are permeable and they do not have kidneys or other organs that allow them to produce a urine with lower or higher solute concentrations than the external medium.

Some marine animals such as the sea stars are osmoconformers; their body fluids are similar to seawater in osmolarity, so they gain and lose water at equal rates and have no need to expend energy expelling water or salt from the body.

- Use specific examples to illustrate your answer ... Osmoconformers don't have to waste energy pumping ions in and out of their cells, and don't need specialized structures like kidneys or nephridia to maintain their internal salt balance, but they're very sensitive to environmental changes in osmolarity.
