← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a fish's swim bladder overinflates relative to ambient pressure?
A)Buoyancy increases, making sinking difficult✓
B)Density increases, enhancing maneuverability
C)Drag decreases, causing uncontrolled acceleration
D)Metabolic rate decreases, reducing oxygen needs
💡 Explanation
When fish's swim bladder overinflates, Boyle's Law causes buoyancy to increase because the volume expands, making it hard for the fish to descend. Therefore, makes sinking difficult results, rather than enhancing maneuverability which requires neutral buoyancy; decreasing drag is unrelated and reducing metabolic rate has no direct causal link.
