Which risk occurs when a marine fish's chloride cells fail during hypoosmotic stress?

💡 Explanation

Failure of chloride cells inhibits active transport of Cl- ions, disturbing the osmotic gradient; therefore, proper osmoregulation fails leading to significant disruption of ion balance systemically rather than altered glycogen or protein regulation, because these are distinct processes.
