← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a fish's lamellar structure collapses during filter feeding?
A)Reduced oxygen absorption into bloodstream✓
B)Enhanced waste removal from tissues
C)Increased pressure within lymphatic ducts
D)Elevated glucose processing enzyme efficiency
💡 Explanation
Severely reduced oxygen uptake results, because disruption impedes countercurrent exchange within the lamellae, thus diminishing O₂ transfer. Reduced gradient efficiency occurs therefore because the optimal partial pressure offset no longer exists; rather than increased absorption.
