← Nature & AnimalsWhich process is directly enhanced by avian air sacs linking lungs to bones?
A)Efficient removal of metabolic waste
B)Improved oxygen uptake during flight✓
C)Enhanced buoyancy for aquatic locomotion
D)Increased sensory perception of air currents
💡 Explanation
When birds utilize air sacs connected to their lungs and bones, unidirectional airflow is maintained because the sacs act as reservoirs. Therefore, improved oxygen uptake results, rather than waste removal, buoyancy, or sensory perception which rely on different anatomical specializations.
