← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk elevates when marine fish experience internal dehydration?
A)Increased nitrogenous waste accumulation
B)Reduced oxygen molecule diffusion
C)Impaired ion concentration gradients✓
D)Enhanced energy expenditure of muscles
💡 Explanation
Impaired ion concentration occurs because osmoregulation relies on maintaining proper balance via active transport; therefore, dehydration disrupts cellular electrochemical gradients, rather than nitrogen waste, and other energy effects.
