← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results to raptor flight during sustained soaring?
A)Reduced metabolic rate decreases efficiently✓
B)Increased air sac ventilation augments
C)Turbulence increases drag substantially then
D)Feather barbule angles realign randomly
💡 Explanation
During sustained soaring, reduced metabolic rate permits energy conservation via thermals, because birds optimize energy use using their wing profile effectively; therefore, decreased need for flapping occurs, rather than increased activity because air resistance inhibits active respiration.
