← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when buoyancy exceeds equilibrium during a fish swim?
A)Increased metabolic energy expenditure✓
B)Reduced efficiency of gas transport
C)Decreased hydrostatic pressure management
D)Enhanced hydrodynamic drag reduction
💡 Explanation
Increased metabolic energy expediture from the fish experiencing positive buoyancy occurs due to ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE, causing it to expend more energy to maintain depth, because vertical instability arises; therefore stability declines, rather than gas decreases or pressure increases occur.
