Answer;

B. the cell was unable to maintain a stable internal environment.

Explanation;

-A sodium ion imbalance could cause water to rush across the cell plasma membrane in either direction. Too little water makes the cell shrivel up; too much water makes it burst. The balance between water and electrolytes, such as sodium ions, controls cell integrity.

-Electrolytes are molecules that influence cell fluid regulation. Sodium is the most abundant electrolyte. Too much sodium in the surrounding fluid - or too little in the cells - sucks too much water out of the cells.

-Too little sodium in the surrounding fluid - or too much within the cells -causes cells to swell as their higher sodium concentration draws too much water in, which eventually causes cell and organelle membranes to burst.

Eduardwww [97]
Hello! Succession is not really harmful to ecosystems and it’s not a one-time event, because things come and go overtime. Therefore, it’s not A or D. It is necessary for ecosystem recovery, because it’s needed to continue on with things, just like families reproduce to make family continue. It’s not that bad. It’s just a natural process that happens. The answer is B: natural recovery process.

What does the polarity of the water molecule enable it to do
Fofino [41]
The polarity of water allows it to dissociate ionic and other polar compounds, thus allowing many important chemical reactions to occur. Those reactions are called aqueous reactions. Most of the reactions that sustain life are aqueous with water acting as the "universal solvent".
