A fish swimming into a bog environment in Ohio would likely have which of the following as its greatest physiological challenge?
A)The low oxygen content would make it difficult for the fish to swim aerobically.
B)The low nitrogen content would make it difficult for the fish to synthesize proteins.
C)The high temperature would stress the fish by denaturing its proteins.
D)The high water flow would make the fish expend more energy.
E)The high methane content would make respiration difficult.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bogs are characterized by low oxygen content due to the accumulation of organic matter that consumes oxygen during decay. This makes it difficult for fish to swim aerobically as they require oxygen for respiration. Nitrogen content, temperature, water flow, and methane content are not typically high in bog environments and therefore not the greatest physiological challenge for fish.
