What is the function of gas-filled vacuoles in aquatic photosynthetic bacteria
A)transducers to detect chemicals and signal the cells to respond
B)regulate the depth at which they float by changing amount of gas in vacuoles
C)change the handedness of the helix in which the bacteria is moving
D)allows the bacteria to respond to magnetic fields

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gas-filled vacuoles in aquatic photosynthetic bacteria regulate the depth at which they float by changing the amount of gas in vacuoles. This allows them to position themselves at the appropriate depth to optimize their exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis.
