Aquatic organisms generally require less structural support (e.g., skeletons)due to water's

B)buoyancy.
C)surface tension.
D)viscosity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water's buoyancy reduces the force of gravity on aquatic organisms, allowing them to expend less energy on support structures such as skeletal systems. This is why many aquatic organisms have soft bodies or exoskeletons rather than endoskeletons. None of the other choices relate directly to structural support.
