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.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

. 2C- acetyl Co-A from the link reaction  enters the kreb Cycle to combine with 4 Carbon Oxaloacetate to form 6-  Citrate

The Citrate forms intermediate Isocitrate, which eventually formed  6-C alpha ketoglutarate.

The alpha-ketoglutarate forms the intermediate succinyl-Co A, which later formed  5C-succinate.

5C -Succinate  forms 4C-fumarate, the latter formed 4C-malate- which eventually formed 4C-oxaloacetate.

The 4C of these compounds is fixed, to ensure constant availability of 4C of oxaloacatate for 2C Acetyl -CoA to bind it for the cycle to continuously occur for production of first product Citric Acid  from which other products are  formed from.
