Which consequence results when a soaring bird has insufficient air sac perfusion?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient air sac perfusion limits oxygen to flight muscles; aerobic needs during soaring demand higher oxygen intake, hindering ATP production via cellular respiration because of impaired gas exchange. Therefore lift falls rather than effective thermoregulation or barometric perception.
