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.

What type of stellar object will the sun end its life end
Lerok [7]
Your wording is a bit confusing, but I get what you're trying to say.

Here's what the life cycle of a star looks like.

Stars begin as giant balls of hydrogen colliding together and releasing a ton of energy. This hydrogen will eventually fuse together to form helium, and once all of the hydrogen has become helium, This helium will, after a very long time and under lots and lots of pressure, form carbon. When this happens, it is considered a red giant, and the star becomes bigger and less bright. The star will become less and less bright and eventually start to shrink as all of that carbon turns to heavier elements like iron, turning into a dwarf star that eventually dies out.
(Dwarf stars are still shining are called white dwarf stars, and dead ones are black)

The cool part, though, is that massive stars (those which have a mass of at least 3 times the Sun's) turn into heavy elements so fast that the core collapses almost instantaneously and explodes violently into a ball of fire known as a supernova.

Sometimes the core of the star gets left behind, and either forms a neutron star or, if it has the mass of a massive star, will collapse in on itself and become a black hole.

Is penecillin a bacterium<br> true<br> false
Digiron [165]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Penicillin prevents peptidoglycan from cross-linking properly in the last stages of bacterial cell wall synthesis. This greatly weakens the cell wall and causes the bacterium to lyse, or burst open, because of osmotic pressure. Penicillin is bactericidal because it directly kills bacteria.
