← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism enables peregrine falcons to achieve exceptional speed during a hunting stoop?
A)Boundary layer transition control✓
B)Albatross dynamic soaring technique
C)Enhanced hemoglobin oxygen affinity
D)Keratin structural protein regulation
💡 Explanation
Falcons use boundary layer transition control via slotted feathers. This minimizes drag by maintaining streamlined airflow. Birds don't soar like Albatross; hemoglobin affinity impacts oxygen delivery, and keratin structure provides material property rather than aerodynamic function; therefore boundary layer control is correct.
