Answer:

The GIT mucus lining of the GIT serve as a physical barrier to the movement of digested food substances.

The mucus also help to prevent inflammation of the bowels; by reducing  or suppressing immune response to inflammation.

In Cystic fibrosis, the blockage of the ducts by the mucus, prevents enzymes from reaching the digestive  food substances,. The resulting undigested food substances leads to bloating, pain, cramps, gas, smelly belch, constipation, and smelly stools.

A swimmer sprints a short distance for a competition. The swimmer is not able to take in enough oxygen to make the ATP needed fo
Reptile [31]

When the swimmer is unable to take in enough oxygen for the sprint, the ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) will be compromised. In such conditions, the body will use anaerobic respiration to produce the ATP. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It used the electron acceptors in place of the oxygen in the respiratory cycle. The amount of the ATP produced is, however, less in anaerobic respiration.

Hence, the answer is 'Option C - Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen'.
