← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when oceanic salt concentration increases?
A)Osmotic stress in marine organisms increases✓
B)Carbon dioxide solubility limit increases
C)Dissolved oxygen concentration sees increase
D)Photosynthetic efficiency in algae improves
💡 Explanation
Increased salt concentration elevates the osmotic pressure because increased ionic compounds create a greater solute concentration; therefore, ocean organisms experience osmotic stress as water leaves by osmosis, rather than increased gas solubilities which decrease with higher salinity.
