How does coughing and sneezing help protect the respiratory system?
andriy [413]
Coughing and sneezing are reflexes of the body that prevent bacteria to further damage the organs inside the body. It helps in keeping the airways clear and in healing. The two sources or passages of these natural reflexes are the nose and the mouth.  
<span>
Inside the nose, there are nasal hairs present to filter the oxygen or air that we breathe in. These are called Cilia, these are protective mechanisms of the body that trap dirt that cannot pass through the respiratory system. Sneezing is a natural reflex that clears the nose passages from obstructions that might affect the lungs. Coughing is also a natural reflex that is generated by an irritation in the tonsils, this condition is commonly viral. The tonsils are responsible for protecting the passage of dirty air into the lungs.</span>

How does matter cycle AND energy flow through living and nonliving things in an ecosystem?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Matter cycles through an ecosystem through processes called biogeochemical cycles.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis

Plants build carbohydrates by taking in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Carbon moves through the food chain

As organisms eat other organisms, carbon moves up the food chain. Molecules in the food that contain carbon transform into the organic molecules that make up the living body.

Carbon moves back to the environment

Organisms use food molecules, containing carbon, as a form of energy. The process of cellular respiration breaks down food molecules into carbon dioxide.

Contribution of industry

Humans contribute to moving carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through the combustion of fossil fuels.

Use of fossil fuels

Today's fossil fuels were formed hundreds of millions of years ago by plants deposited in the Earth. The decomposition of the plants slowed down in such a way that their organic molecules are used for natural gas, coal and oil.

Diffusion into the air

From the oceans, carbon dioxide diffuses into the air. This creates a large amount of carbon, which is then taken in by plants to start the cycle over again.
