← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a flounder remains immobile on gravel?
A)Enhanced crypsis reduces predation risk✓
B)Increased metabolism elevates body temperature
C)Anaerobic respiration generates surplus energy
D)Osmotic regulation hinders ion exchange
💡 Explanation
Enhanced crypsis reduces predation, because the flounder merges with the environment through disruptive coloration that implements camouflage. Immobility enhances this camouflage mechanism, therefore decreasing detection by predators, rather than influencing metabolism.
