← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when estuarine species experience rapid salinity shifts?
A)Enzyme activity remains relatively stable
B)Mitigation via behavioral adjustments succeed
C)Metabolic rates become greatly stabilized
D)Cellular osmotic balance starts getting disrupted✓
💡 Explanation
Disrupted cellular osmotic balance occurs because rapid salinity changes overwhelm osmoregulation mechanisms, leading to cell damage; therefore osmotic stress increases, rather than stable enzyme activity or metabolic resilience which requires different conditions.
