What is a real world example for buoyancy force?
i fishes swim bladder
What is a swim bladder?
an air filled sac near the spinal column in many fishes that helps maintain buoyancy.
What does a bony fish have to control its buoyancy?
Bony fishes use the swim bladder to help control and maintain their buoyancy. These are internally gas-filled organs which helps contribute the ability to stay at current water depth without wasting energy in swimming.
The ray-finned fishes are characterized by?
The ray-finned fishes are characterized by having fins supported by bony spines or rays. They also have a skeleton made of bone, scales covering their bodies, and a swim bladder for buoyancy control. Ray-finned fishes are the most diverse group of fishes, with over 30,000 species.
How do cartilaginous fishes and bony fishes maintain buoyancy?
Pizza?
The organ that adjusts the buoyancy of many bony fishes is the?
The swim bladder helps the fish float right and balance. If a fish has something wrong with its swim bladder, it will have trouble swimming down and will soon get stuck upside-down and die.

Bony fishes have a gas-filled organ which is called?
Bony fishes have a gas-filled organ called the swim bladder. This organ helps them to control their buoyancy and maintain their position in the water column by adjusting the amount of gas it contains.
Where do cartilaginous fishes store oil?
Cartilaginous fishes store oil in their large, oily livers. The liver serves as a buoyancy aid, helping these fishes control their depth in the water column. Additionally, the oil stored in the liver provides a concentrated energy reserve for these species.
How fishes vary the amount of gas in their swim bladder?
they die
What makes fish float?
Fishes do not exactly float, except when they die. Although fishes can move upwards and downwards by rising and sinking, sort of like a helium filled balloon. To do this, fishes need to reduce its overall density by reducing its volume without increasing its mass. For this, fishes have what we call a 'swim bladder'. This an organ that expands and contracts, just like a human lung. When the bladder is inflated, the fish has a maximum volume and is pushed to the surface. When its deflated, it has a minimum volume and sinks. In this way, fishes are capable of rising and sinking and also staying at a particular level. Hope this helped :)
What bony items cover a bony fish's skin?
Bones are made of calcium. This is the same for all bones found in mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. The 'softer tissue structures' found in other fishes is cartilage. These are the rays, sharks and the like.
