← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when bioluminescent bacteria within anglerfish decline?
A)Prey detection ability becomes limited✓
B)Enhanced detoxification burden to liver
C)Metabolic rate substantially rises overall
D)Swim bladder inflates uncontrollably
💡 Explanation
Diminished light from the bacteria reduces effectiveness in attracting prey because symbiotic bioluminescence relies on the enzymatic process. Therefore, prey detection decreases, rather than alternative metabolic or mechanical effects occurring if bacteria levels rise further or a structural problem arises.
