← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when olfactory receptor saturation impairs map reading?
A)Spatial disorientation during long migrations✓
B)Enhanced resource localisation precision
C)Temporary increase in homing speed
D)Heightened predator avoidance capabilities
💡 Explanation
Reduced olfactory acuity compromises an animal's spatial orientation because olfactory maps are built from scent gradients, therefore disorientation occurs when concentration thresholds distort the cognitive map, rather than improved localisation as receptors adapt differentially to background odours.
