Food web is more appropriate because of how wide spread the animal kingdom is, there are many predators for many different animals. For example, if a rabbit is killed by a wolf and the wolf eats a part of the carcass and leaves it, soon other scavengers will come and eat the remains, which then spans out into a web of animals, which allows us more data than what a chain may give us to visualize.

leva [86]

The question is incomplete. Th ecomplete question is as following:

All of the following protect the skin and mucous membranes from infection EXCEPT  

A) multiple layers of cells.

B) tears.

C) saliva.

D) HCl.

E) the "ciliary escalator."

Answer: D) HCl.

Explanation:

  • The epidermis, the outer layer of the skin provides waterproofing and serves as a barrier to infection and other laers also sustain any type of injury.  
  • Tears wash out foreign bodies which enter the eye. In addition, tears contain a substance called lysozyme which has an antibacterial function and works to prevent microbial invasion and infection.  
  • Saliva protects against infection, especially via the innate immune system. This mechanism is an important first-line protection against bacterial and viral infection
  • The mucociliar escalator is within the conducting airways and is composed of mucus and cilia that transfer the mucus up and out of the lungs where it can be removed by coughing or swallowing,

Whereas HCL helps in the digestion process.

Hence, the correct option is D.
