Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) C-shaped cartilage rings </em>

Explanation:

The trachea is commonly known as the wind-pipe. The trachea can be described as about a 4 inch long passage from which the air travels into the bronchi and lungs. The pathway of the trachea is kept open by C- shaped cartilages which are lined all over in the trachea. The C-shaped cartilages protects as well as maintain the shape of the wind-pipe. The rigidity of the trachea arises from the C-shaped cartilages.

The diagram shows a normal red blood cell and a shrunken red blood cell, both of which are in salt water.
bixtya [17]

Answer: Water moved from inside the red blood cell into the salt water.

This is because of the osmotic difference between the salt solution and the red blood cell. This means that there is difference in the solute (salt) concentration inside the red blood cell and the salt solution.

Explanation: The salt concentration in the solution is higher than the salt concentration inside the red blood cell, that is, the red blood cell has more water concentration that the salt solution, therefore there will be movement of water from the inside of the red blood cell into the salt solution thereby causing the red blood cell to reduce in size. The movement of water from the red blood cell into the salt solution is to create a balance between the water concentration in the two environments, hence the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low solvent concentration across the selectively permeable membrane of the red blood cell.
