← Nature & AnimalsWhat consequences occur when a stork exceeds flight weight limits?
A)Increased reliance on anaerobic metabolism✓
B)Reduced oxygen delivery efficiency
C)Augmented lift-induced vortex generation
D)Premature activation of feather molt
💡 Explanation
Increased loading necessitates more power for flight, because increased anaerobic metabolism supplements energy production when oxygen supply becomes insufficient during exertion; therefore, lactic acid increases, rather than efficient ATP from oxidative phosphorylation which requires lower exertion levels at smaller loadings.
