← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk results when freshwater fish experience excess hydration?
A)Cellular swelling causes organ dysfunction✓
B)Elevated respiration reduces oxygen uptake
C)Disrupted neural impulses limit motor coordination
D)Uncontrolled breeding overwhelms local ecosystems
💡 Explanation
Without constant osmoregulation, osmosis relentlessly drives water into cells via cellular swelling (cytolysis) because fluids are hypertonic relative to surface water; therefore, tissue dysfunction follows rather than neural or respiratory issues that arise from hypoxia.
