← Nature & AnimalsIn avian respiration, which outcome specifically occurs when increased wing loading reduces the effectiveness of air sacs?
A)Enhanced gas exchange efficiency
B)Decreased oxygen extraction efficiency✓
C)Increased metabolic rate reduction
D)Optimized unidirectional airflow maintenance
💡 Explanation
Decreased oxygen arises because increased wing loading restricts air sac expansion using negative pressure ventilation, therefore reduces air flow across avian lungs; rather than increasing unidirectional respiration, this constraint diminishes oxygen intake.
