← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when marine amphibians experience saltwater exposure?
A)Diffusion driven cellular water loss✓
B)Active sodium and water secretion
C)Increased gill uptake efficiency
D)Accelerated urea production efficiency
💡 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.
