← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when gas gland carbonic anhydrase inhibitors interfere with rete mirabile?
A)Swim bladder less buoyant, sinks✓
B)Increased buoyancy, bladder ruptures internally
C)Enhanced hydrostatic pressure regulation occurs
D)Accelerated oxygen diffusion into plasma
💡 Explanation
A carbonic anhydrase inhibitor reduces the Bohr effect, which decreases hemoglobins oxygen affinity; therefore, less oxygen secretion into the swim bladder occurs to maintain buoyancy because rete mirabile relies on it, rather than increased diffusion to the blood.
