Answer:

The correct answer is B) using cilia

Explanation:

Paramecium is unicellular ciliate varying in size range between 50 to 300 micrometers. They are found in both fresh and marine water and have lots of cilia for their locomotion in their environment.

Paramecium uses these cilia to gather their food. Paramecium feed on small microscopic organisms like bacteria, algae, and yeast. They capture their food by moving their cilia to move their prey toward their mouth or oral groove.

Then the food is transferred into the cell through cilia present in the oral groove. In the cell, the food is captured by food vacuole which digests the food and releases the waste outside.

The right answer is: Bleeding oesophageal varices

Bleeding oesophageal varices occur when swollen veins (varicose veins) of the lower esophagus rupture and bleed.
Oesophageal varices may leak blood and eventually rupture. This can lead to serious bleeding and life-threatening complications, including death. When that happens, it's a medical emergency.

Muscle growth due to protein synthesis is an example of what kind of reaction
7nadin3 [17]
Biological reactions can be classified as being of two main types: anabolic and catabolic. Catabolic reactions involve the break down of a larger molecule to release energy and smaller molecules; meanwhile, anabolic reactions are the opposite such that they involve the combination of molecules while consuming energy to form larger molecules. 
Muscle growth is anabolic because polypeptides are formed using amino acids and energy.

The correct answer is photosynthesis!

In fact, photosynthesis has the opposite effect: of reducing the among of carbon dioxide: it uses this gas and releases oxygen!

All the other options release Carbon dioxide, for example forest fires are a really big contributor to the amount of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
