Question:
Electric eels live in fresh water. The torpedo ray is an electric fish that lives in salt water. The electrocytes in the ray are grouped differently than in the eel; each stack of electrocytes has fewer cells, but there are more stacks in parallel. Which of the following best explains the ray's electrocyte arrangement?
A. The lower resistivity of salt water requires more current but lower voltage.
B. The lower resistivity of salt water requires more voltage but lower current.
C. The higher resistivity of salt water requires more current but lower voltage.
D. The higher resistivity of salt water requires more voltage but lower current.
