← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence occurs in soaring birds during altitude ascent where ambient temperature decreases with decreasing air density?
A)Reduced drag from laminar flow
B)Enhanced lift due to wing camber
C)Decreased oxygen diffusion in airsacs✓
D)Increased thermalling from solar radiation
💡 Explanation
Decreasing ambient temperature reduces gas molecule kinetic energy and causes poor oxygen diffusion because reduced energy inhibits efficient gas dispersion into blood, therefore impairing respiration efficiency rather than directly influencing flight due to lower air density.
