← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a scout bee's carbohydrate metabolism is impaired during a waggle dance?
A)Direction indicated remains fundamentally accurate
B)Distance communication becomes significantly more precise
C)Energy for distance propagation is underestimated✓
D)Foraging is immediately transferred to noctuid moths
💡 Explanation
Less ATP production alters the signal, because decreased metabolism reduces the vigorousness reflecting distance in the waggle dance. Therefore other bees underestimate distance, rather than direction, because they still interpret angle information correctly.
