Answer:

The correct answer is: Type 1 Pneumocytes, and Type 2 Pneumocytes.

Explanation:

The alveoli are structures that form a hollow cavity and are found in the lungs. Alveoli have the very important task of gas exchange, in which deoxygenated blood becomes oxygenated blood to be distributed to every organ in the body.

Alveoli walls are composed of two types of cells:

  • Type 1 Pneumocytes have the function of gas exchange between the capillaries, and for that reason, they are very thin and permeable.
  • Type 2 Pneumocytes have the function to produce surfactant, a substance very important to maintain the elastic recoil of the lungs. Without surfactant, the lungs would collapse.

<span>Answer: A) Dark moths had a survival disadvantage in industrial Dorset.

-----

This question can be solely answered using the data you're given! The graph is broken down by place, and then moth type.

In forested Birmingham, the green bar for the light moth is much higher than the orange one for the dark moth. That means the light moth had a survival advantage (eliminating option D) and the dark moths had a survival disadvantage (eliminating option C).

In industrialized Dorset, the green bar for the light moth is much lower than the orange one for the dark moth. That means the light moths were at a survival disadvantage (eliminating option B). The dark moths were are a survival advantage, but option A says "disadvantage," which is clearly wrong! That makes A your answer.
