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.

a student exposed two plants to only red light and two plants to only green light. which plants should grow faster and why?
uranmaximum [27]
The plants exposed to green light will be more likely to grow faster, since, the green plants' cells go through something called photo- synthesis, and that creates a green hue in the plant's color.( most plants) So when green matches with green, the process speeds up.
