Which mechanism maintains cellular function when saltwater fish osmoregulate?

💡 Explanation

Active chloride cell ion transport maintains cell function because cells actively secrete chloride ions to lower internal salt concentrations and prevent dehydration; therefore cellular function is sustained rather than impaired because they don't retain urea.
