← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when nitrogen solubility forces air reabsorption from fish bladder?
A)Increased buoyancy control accuracy in water
B)Enhanced oxygen absorption cell efficiency
C)Reduced swim bladder efficiency over-expansion
D)Formation painful gas bubbles in tissues✓
💡 Explanation
Decompression sickness occurs because nitrogen solubility increases with pressure; therefore, rapid ascent forces Nitrogen to bubble out of its dissolved state in tissues using swimbladder air reabsorption, rather than remaining dissolved and harmless until naturally released at lower pressure.
