← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when increased wing loading in raptors exceeds limits during a static thermal column ascent?
A)Enhanced boundary layer turbulence formation
B)Accelerated lactic acid accumulation ensues✓
C)Minimized induced drag is achieved
D)Improved thermal energy capture persists
💡 Explanation
Increased wing loading induces higher power demands, therefore anaerobic metabolism dominates energy production, because lactate dehydrogenase activity rises rapidly, rather than sustained aerobic respiration maintaining level flight.
