← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a fish inefficiently adjusts internal swim buoyancy?
A)Increased energetic cost of swimming✓
B)Optimized oxygen uptake in gills
C)Enhanced predator avoidance behavior
D)Minimized osmotic stress in tissues
💡 Explanation
Inefficient buoyancy control demands continuous muscular effort to maintain depth due to Archimedes' principle; therefore increased hydrostatic drag occurs, causing energy reserves to deplete, rather than optimizing buoyancy, because proper swim bladder inflation facilitates stable effortless swimming.
