Which risk increases when a jellyfish's statocyst fails?

💡 Explanation

Statocysts detect orientation, so failure directly impairs the jellyfish's buoyancy via hydrostatic pressure regulation; the mechanism is disrupted equilibrium. Without balanced buoyancy adjustment, they risk improper movement, because of an unregulated water pressure differential, rather than other sensory or gas exchange deficits.
