← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk occurs when a marine fish's chloride cells fail during hypoosmotic stress?
A)Disrupted ion balance in tissues✓
B)Excess protein synthesis interruption
C)Reduced hormone production gradient
D)Increased glycogen storage efficiency
💡 Explanation
Failure of chloride cells inhibits active transport of Cl- ions, disturbing the osmotic gradient; therefore, proper osmoregulation fails leading to significant disruption of ion balance systemically rather than altered glycogen or protein regulation, because these are distinct processes.
