In the lake, fish tend to inhabit deeper waters during the warmer periods of the day. Which explanation most accurately correlates this behavior with the solubility of gases?(1 point)

Question

Responses

Solubility of gases increases under elevated pressures.
Solubility of gases increases under elevated pressures.

Solubility of gases increases under reduced pressures.
Solubility of gases increases under reduced pressures.

Gases are more soluble at low temperatures.
Gases are more soluble at low temperatures.

Gases are more soluble at high temperatures.
Gases are more soluble at high temperatures.

Answer 1

The most accurate explanation correlating the behavior of fish inhabiting deeper waters during warmer periods of the day with the solubility of gases is:

Gases are more soluble at low temperatures.

This is because warmer water can hold less dissolved oxygen compared to cooler water, making deeper, colder waters more suitable for fish, especially during warmer parts of the day when surface temperatures rise.
