Answer: True

Explanation:

Mucociliary streaming is the process of the cleaning mechanism of the respiratory passage. It is one of the protective process that protects the respiratory passage from the effect of the particles of dust and pathogens before they reach up to the delicate lung tissues. This process maintains the pulmonary hygiene.

This takes the advantage of cleaning up the cilia present in the respiratory tract, this process penetrates the mucous layer of the cilia by wave-like motion. The cilia trap the large and small particles. The instrument used for this purpose moves at a speed of 6 to 20mm per minute. This helps in cleaning up of the cilia along with the mucous.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Whenever a person breathes air, some particulate material gets deposited in respiratory tracts. There is a certain limit on the size and the density of the particles beyond which particles need to be removed from the tract. The size of the particles deposited ranges between 1 to 2 microns. The particles deposited above alveoli with in the respiratory tracts are removed by moving mucus layer into the gastro -intestinal tract. This movement of mucus is assisted by ciliary structures and hence it is called ciliary streaming  

And the rate of cilia beating ranges between 1000 -1500 per minute

hence, the given statement is true

Roads are sometimes salted in the winter to prevent ice build up. When the ice and snow melt, the water can also carry salt off
valkas [14]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>When the salt water resulting from using salt to thaw ice and snow is washed off the road, the nearby plants along the roadside would be subjected to osmotic stress due to the lower water potential of the soil water when compared to that of their cells. Consequently, the plants are expected to lose water to the surrounding salt solution until an equilibrium is established between their cytosols and the soil solution. </em>

Which vitamin is synthesized in the intestine by bacteria?​
Black_prince [1.1K]

The correct answer is option a, that is, Vitamin K.

Vitamin K is primarily produced by the bacteria in the large intestine. The dietary sources include the green photosynthetic parts of the plants. The vitamin plays an essential role in the development of many blood-clotting factors in the liver, and their deficit can result in bleeding disorders.

There are two sources of vitamin K; this includes phylloquinone or vitamin K1, which is mainly found in green leafy vegetables and menaquinone or vitamin K2 that is produced by some kinds of intestinal bacteria.

What happens when oceanic crust collides with continental crust at plate boundary
Ne4ueva [31]

Explanation:

When oceanic crust converges with continental crust, the denser oceanic plate plunges beneath the continental plate. This process, called subduction, occurs at the oceanic trenches. The entire region is known as a subduction zone. Subduction zones have a lot of intense earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
