It's an important part of the bird's ability to maintain its body temperature. 
Air is a poor conductor of heat, so the air trapped among the feathers
prevents the loss of heat in cold atmosphere, and prevents overheating
in hot atmosphere.  Much like our wearing several layers of clothing.

the air pockets help the bird keep its body heat in its feathers keeping it warm.

The pancreas is responsible for the elimination of 95% of ingested alcohol from the body through metabolism.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

<h2>False</h2>

Explanation:

The human body mechanisms try to excrete out the ethanol from the body before it gets circulated in the body through blood. The body does so by converting the ethanol to certain metabolic products which get filtered and excreted out through urine.

The metabolism of alcohol takes place in the liver in two steps- Ethanol is converted to acetaldehyde by the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme. The acetaldehyde is toxic to cells and is the compound responsible for the hangover after drinking.

The acetaldehyde is then converted to acetic acid by an enzyme called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The acetic acid through respiration gets converted to water and carbon dioxide and rest is excreted out through urine.

Thus, the liver is the organ responsible for the metabolism of ethanol and not pancreas.
