Answer:

It is the passageway for both food and air

Explanation:

The pharynx is also known as the throat, and it contains passageways for both food and air. When food is swallowed, a flap of cartilage called the epiglottis presses down to cover the opening to the air passageway.

Answer:

The pharynx, or what we know as the "throat," is a  dual duty body part. It has the job of both swallowing/ moving food to the esophagus. It is also the channel that allows air from your nasal/ oral cavities to flow down to your larynx, or voice box.

Hope this helps!

Unlike freshwater fish, saltwater fish
Olin [163]


The best answer is A

Saltwater fish are hypotonic to their surroundings. This means their blood has a higher water concentration than the surrounding sea water.

Due to the fact that there is more salt and less water outside their bodies, there is a tendency to take in salt and lose water.

To counter this, salt water fish drink a lot of the sea water and urinate very little. Special cells in the gills actively eliminate salt at the cost of extra energy and these fishes do not absorb any salt from the water they drink.
