<span>very acidic ph - stomach
mucociliary escalator - intestines
cerumen and sebum - ear
lysozyme - tears and saliva
keratin and tightly packed cells - skin
</span>
The correct answer is "mucociliary escalator intestines".
The mucociliary escalator is a mechanism that belongs to the bronchi, not the intestines. The mucociliary escalator is a mechanism of self-clearing where cilium, cilia and mucus work together to expel any material that's solid, or not too fluid or gaseous, including pathogens. From the main bronchi to the alveoli there is a moist lining produced by the specific present epithelium. This epithelium presents cilia. The cilia are embedded in mucus. The mucus is what helps in trapping any material that's solid, or not too fluid or gaseous, including pathogens. After these are trapped so that they don't progress to the alveoli, the cilia move in such a way that push the particles again to the exterior of the bronchi, like an escalator.

Which would be a consequence of the removal of predators from a population such as the Trinidadian guppy population?a .The nitro
natulia [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "Guppy color patterns would change; guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring; the nitrogen excretion rate would increase and the rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase".

Explanation:

The Trinidadian guppy is a species of fish with the scientific name <em>Poecilia reticulata</em>. Just like almost all species, its population is regulated for multiple factors, one of them being the presence of predators. The removal of Trinidadian guppy predators would result in multiple consequences:

- Guppy color patterns would change. The fish have a complex coloration determined largely by predation avoidance.

- Guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring. This adaptation has been proved in an experiment at which the fish was introduced one a low predation environment. The report proved that evolution can take place in less than 10 years.

- The nitrogen excretion rate would increase. It has been reported that predation reduce Trinidadian guppy nitrogen excretion by 40%. Removing the predators will case the nitrogen excretion rate to increase due to an increase in the fish food intake.

- The rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase. This is an effect of the increase of nitrogen excretion rate, which benefits algae population to growth.
