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.

horsena [70]

Answer:

a.Many mitochondrial genes resemble proteobacteria genes, while the genes in the chloroplast resemble genes found in some photosynthetic bacteria.

c.Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes that are similar to those found in bacteria.

d.Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a process similar to mitosis.

Explanation:

Endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplast which are organelles of eukaryotic cells were once independently living micro-organisms but with due course of time eukaryotic cells engulfed them and they become an integral part of these eukaryotic cells.

The resemblance between mitochondrial genes with those of proteobacteria and chloroplast genes with photosynthetic bacteria strongly support endosymbiotic theory. Apart from this, the presence of their own DNA that too circular just like prokaryotic microbes and 70 S ribosomes also support this theory. Also just like prokaryotic cells, before cell division mitochondria and chloroplasts undergo replication by means of a process known as binary fission.
