The scientists measured the blood flow to the bird's flight muscles in the wings at the same time. Would you expect the graph that showed the relationship between oxygen consumption and blood flow to the wing muscles to look the same as the one above? Why or why not?

Answer:

Power is measured at three different levels pertinent to flapping flight. The first level is metabolic power input (P met) to the muscles, directly of interest to a flying, foraging bird, and generally a realm of study for respiratory, thermal and chemical physiologists.P met is the rate the bird expends chemical energy to supply the flight muscles, and it may be measured using double-labeled ...
