Lauren is a senior at a nearby high school. She is a good student who does her work on weekdays and likes to party on the weeken

ds with her friends. A few months ago, Lauren developed a persistent cough that has worsened over time. She has also had trouble breathing over the past week or so. Her parents decided it was time she see a doctor and made an appointment with the family physician. Lauren arrived at the doctor's office the following day. The doctor asked her a number of questions about her health history and daily habits, including, whether or not she smoked cigarettes. Lauren responded that she started smoking cigarettes (about 2 per day) her freshman year of high school and does not intend to quit anytime soon. The doctor decided it was necessary to take a biopsy of the cells that line the bronchus (passageway to the lungs). After several days, the biopsy report has come back along with a micrograph of the bronchial cells. Lauren's cigarette smoking has badly damaged these organelles which are responsible for mucous and dirt moving up-and-out of her respiratory system. Analyze the micrograph below and determine what cell organelles have been damaged. Cella OA smooth ER B Peroxisome C Mitochondria D Cilia E Golgi Apparatus F Rough ER

Cilia have been damaged

Explanation:

If the cilia are damaged the mucous and dirt do not come out of the lungs leading to clogging of the bronchia. Lauren smoking habit has damaged her cilia  and thus had troubled breathing. The bronchi of the lung are lined with cilia.

Cilia are tiny hair-like projections that keep the airways clean by sweeping away mucus and dust particles and keeping the lungs clear. When cilia do not work the air passage gets clogged with dust and dirt causing trouble breathing.

saveliy_v [14]

Natural Selection is the process by which the most adapted, or fittest, species survive and the least adapted, or unfit, species do not survive. An example of Natural Selection is if there are two species of birds that eat the same thing, but one of the species has a beak that makes it harder to eat the food, naturally the species that has the beak fit to eat that food will survive. The species that is not fit to eat that food will either adapt or will be unable to survive. Evolution is a species adapting to the enviornment over a period of time. There is microevolution and macroevolution.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most scientists were not yet concerned about global warming. This was because the major issue during the period between 1940 and 1970 was global cooling with little or no attention on global warming.

However things started to change due to more pollution as a result of technological advances. Global warming started becoming a concern between 1970s and 1990s because of the increase in steady surface temperature.
