← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases for fish swimming rapidly after deflation?
A)Buoyancy control system failure
B)Reduced swimming efficiency remains
C)Blood pH changes quickly✓
D)Increased predator avoidance swiftly
💡 Explanation
Rapid deflation decreases the swim bladder's volume which increases blood acidity; this is Bohr effect releasing oxygen. This affects hemoglobin's affinity, because dissolved CO2 increases, therefore blood pH changes, rather than buoyance changes directly affecting predator avoidance and agility.
