← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results in deep-sea bladderwort plants when hydrostatic pressure crushes internal vacuoles?
A)Enhanced buoyancy for sunlight collection
B)Impeded nutrient absorption by osmosis✓
C)Increased photosynthetic efficiency in tissues
D)Accelerated carbon dioxide waste removal
💡 Explanation
Crushing the vacuoles impedes nutrient transport because the internal pressure gradient is disrupted. Osmoregulation relies on pressure maintenance. Therefore, nutrient absorbance is impacted rather than enhancing buoyancy, photosynthesis, or accelerated carbon removal.
