Answer:

A person with a malformed epiglottis will have trouble keeping food and fluid from entering the lungs.

Explanation:

Epiglottis, a flap of tissue (leaf-shaped structure) made of elastic cartilage is found inside the throat. It is attached to the larynx entrance and acts as a valve that keeps the food from entering the trachea (windpipe) and the lungs.

During breathing, it opens and allows the passage of air into the larynx and trachea. It closes during swallowing and allows the food and fluids to pass through the esophagus towards the stomach. Thus, it prevents the passage of food into the trachea and lungs (aspiration).

The malformed epiglottis or inflammation in epiglottis (epiglottitis) can cause the passing of food into trachea which may lead to airway obstruction or pneumonia or death.

In the endosymbiont theory, an engulfed prokaryote that could perform  respiration evolved over the generations into mitochondria providing the cell with an efficient means of producing ATP from organic compounds.

Similarly, an engulfed prokaryote that could perform photosynthesis evolved over the generations into chloroplast providing the cell with sunlight-generated sugar.

Explanation:

Endosymbiosis is the mutual relationship between two organisms. The theory explains that eukaryotes have evolved from prokaryotic cell or organism.

The host eukaryotic cell engulfed bacteria or prokaryote as bacteria was once an independent entity which could perform cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Possibility of one more cell which engulfed other cells is there.

Mitochondria have its own DNA and is the centre of ATP production which suggests that mitochondria has evolved over the time by photosynthetic bacteria. Sequence analysis also suggest that mitochondria had evolved from eubacteria.

The bacteria integrated into plant cell able to perform photosynthesis has evolved in to chloroplast int the plant cells.

Answer:

The correct method would be - collect the gas in an inverted graduated cylinder.

Explanation:

place the aquatic plant under the mouth of the graduated cylinder and gather the gas by the water displacement that is delivered by the cycle of photosynthesis. At that point measure, the volume of gas gathered at different times.  

An individual could consider the impact of temperature, the measure of light, and the accessibility of supplements as components that may influence the pace of gas creation.
