← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when migratory birds' crystalline iron receptors are disturbed?
A)Disrupted regional cognitive map forms✓
B)Impaired feather growth and shedding
C)Elevated stress hormone production occurs
D)Reduced metabolic water source formed
💡 Explanation
Disturbing iron receptors impairs magnetoception, because this process involves a magnetic field induced chemical process that interprets magnetic orientation cues. Therefore, spatial disorientation and faulty cognitive map encoding occur, rather than feather issues stemming from protein shortages with different triggers relating hormonal changes in different physiological ways.
