Answer:

Cilia

Explanation:

The respiratory system is the system of organs which allows the inhalation and exhalation of the gases especially oxygen and carbon dioxide. The respiratory system begins from the nose or nasal passage and end at the  lungs.  

The histology of the respiratory passages reveals that the epithelium layer of these is made of the columnar, cuboidal and the simple squamous epithelium along with ciliated structures.  These ciliated structures allow the movement of the mucus secretions and the other cell by whiplash movement.

In the given question, since the epithelium of the person is not able to move the fluid therefore the structure that is involved in the cilia.

Thus, cilia is the correct answer.

1. Which of the following statements best describe the difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms?
GREYUIT [131]
1) C. Gymnosperms are mostly adapted for wind pollination; angiosperms are mostly adapted for animal pollination. This is the best answer, because the others had the two types reversed. Gymnos have "naked" seeded cones, whereas Angios have seeds protected by fruit. Therefore the Angios relies on animals to eat the fruit and to pollinate, whereas Gymnos relied on wind to pollinate the ground. Gymnos came first on Earth and Angios developed later.

2) C. Cuticle. This is a waxy coating helping to keep water in. The main water losses are via stomata.

3) C. Stomata

4) B. Nonvascular

5) B. Gravity

These answers were explained in the questions that I just answered before. So refer to those for explanations.

If this is an autosomal recessive disorder, of the following individuals, which is not an obligate carrier?.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

III-6

Explanation:

Obligate carriers, or obligate heterozygotes, are those individuals that may be unaffected clinically, but must possess a copy of the mutant gene. For autosomal recessive conditions, obligate carriers can be the offspring of a parental mating of two carriers (50% of offspring will also be carriers). They can also be produced by a parental mating of a carrier by an affected individual (50% of offspring will be carriers).

During the nineteenth century, sea otters were hunted almost to the point of extinction. when the number of sea otters became ve
jonny [76]

They ensured that balance in the ecosystem was maintained. They ensure that the genetic diversity and species is maintained. Sea otters applied natural selection pressures on the sea urchins population hence maintaining their level such that they will not overgraze on the kelps. Overgrazing would severely affect the sea urchin population and consequently severely affect the sea otters population too.
