← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism optimizes lift generation when birds soar?
A)Boundary layer transition control✓
B)Maintaining turbulent airflow separation
C)Reducing parasite load effects
D)Modulating intestinal absorption efficiency
💡 Explanation
Boundary layer transition control maximizes laminar flow, enabling sustained soaring; because a laminar boundary layer minimizes drag and boosts lift. This occurs due to reduced flow interference, therefore lift optimization, rather than turbulent flow benefits.
