Which action affects cellular function during marine shark hypertonic conditions?

💡 Explanation

Reabsorption of urea in the kidney elevates tissue osmolarity, thus minimizing water loss by osmosis; this is a key component of osmoregulation. Increased urea, rather than faster opercular pumping aids water retention in sharks because their internal fluids remain close to seawater osmolarity.
