Which consequence results when marine amphibians experience saltwater exposure?

💡 Explanation

Cellular dehydration occurs because osmosis drives water out to balance the high external salinity via the mechanism of osmoregulation; therefore cells lose water volume, rather than actively secreting solutes or enhancing nutrient-extraction, preventing cellular equilibrium in extreme conditions.
