Which of the following outcomes will most likely result from a change in the shape of the mitochondrial inner membrane from a highly folded surface to a smooth, flat surface? A-Mitochondria will become more efficient because the inner mitochondrial membrane will become more permeable to ions.

B- Mitochondria will become more efficient because the total volume of the mitochondria will increase.

C-Mitochondria will become less efficient because the inner mitochondrial membrane will become less permeable to large molecules.

D-Mitochondria will become less efficient because the surface area of the inner mitochondrial membranes will decrease.

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.

this would be called the responsiveness
