Which of the following is an example of aposematic coloration? A) stripes of a skunk B) eye color in humans C) green color of a

nignag [31]

Answer:

A) stripes of a skunk

Explanation:

The aposematic coloration is coloration that has been developed by the living organisms in order to warn the predators that they can be dangerous and harmful, thus to not attack them. Usually this type of coloration tends to stick out significantly when compared with the coloration of the other species that do not exhibit it, thus making it much more easy for the animal or plant to be recognized by the predators, which is benefiting both sides. The coloration of the skunk is a nice example of aposematic coloration. The skunk has black basis, but it has straight white stripes along its back. The two colors are contrasting, so it sticks out very easily. The predatory animals immediately notice it and just move along and do not bother the skunk because they are aware that it can pose a danger to them if they attack it.

To line the airways and make mucus, which lubricates and protects the lung

There are numerous different cell types in the lungs. Epithelial cells make up the majority of lung cells. Mucus is produced by epithelial cells that line the airways and coat and shield the lung. Additionally, the lung cells contain blood, nerve, hormone-producing, and structural or supporting cells.

Air enters your lungs when you inhale (breath), and the oxygen in that air travels to your blood. A waste gas called carbon dioxide travels from your blood to your lungs at the same time and is exhaled (breathed out). Gas exchange is a procedure that is vital to life.

the bronchiolar epithelial cells, also known as airway cells, which are bordered with smooth muscle, and the alveolar epithelial cells, which make up the tiny sacs where gas exchange occurs
