← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when swim bladder deflation fails?
A)Increased buoyancy, uncontrolled upward drift✓
B)Decreased buoyancy, sinking to ocean floor
C)Enhanced camouflage, reduced light reflection
D)Heightened sensory input, improved prey capture
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled swim bladder deflation prevents buoyancy adjustment, and leads to increased buoyancy because the mechanism known as Boyle's Law dictates the air bladder's total uplift, therefore a fish will drift upwards rapidly, rather than controlling its depth.
