Answer:

The correct answer will be option-It traps particles such as dust and pollen.

Explanation:

The mucus produced in the lungs is also known as the airway surface liquid or ASL and the mucus formed inside the lungs is known as phlegm. The mucus is composed of the water, ions and the macro-molecules which can trap and has anti-protease and anti-microbial activity.

This mucus forms a thin layer of the fluid in the luminal surface of the airway to which protects the lungs from the foreign particles and chemicals which can enter.

Thus, option-It traps particles such as dust and pollen is the correct answer.

If a blood cell is placed into a solution of 10M salt (highly salty) what would you expect to occur?
steposvetlana [31]
The blood cell will lose water and will undergo lysis.

Cell membrane is permeable to water and can get/lose water via osmosis. Osmosis is induced by the gradient of concentration of the solution. In this case, the 10M salt solution has a very high oncotic pressure that it will attract nearby water. That means the water inside the cells will be taken into the solution and cell will continue to shrink and then die.
