A student made a model of a cell. First, she filled a clear plastic bag with gelatin.
Ksivusya [100]
B) the model does not show that cells can contain smaller structures inside.

This is true because only a rubber ball was added, indicating that only a nucleus or any one organelle is present in a cell. However, the cell contains more than one organelle from the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, and more.

Another possible answer would be D since they model does not show the process of cellular respiration where cells undergo this process to create ATP in the mitochondria.

Which is the order of airflow during inhalation?
Brums [2.3K]

The correct answer is B. Nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli

Explanation

The breath of living beings is divided into two processes, the first is inhalation and the second is exhalation. Regarding the first, it is the process in which the air is taken by the beings to be conducted to their lungs through their noses, passing through the nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and finally alveoli where gas exchange occurs. The second process is the opposite, in which the air inside the lungs converted into CO2 is expelled, passing through the same places in an inverted manner, that is, alveoli, bronchioles, bronchi, trachea, larynx and nasal cavity. So, the correct answer is B. Nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli.
