Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The path of oxygen from the atmosphere to the lungs can be described from the nasal cavity to the alveoli. The oxygen is inhaled with air during the breathing process that travels from the nasal cavity to the pharynx that is tube or tract where mouth or oral cavity and nasal cavity combined. Oxygen moves from pharynx to the larynx and then to trachea or the windpipe.

The trachea is a tube that extended to the larynx to the 2 primary bronchi. Oxygen moves from the trachea to the bronchi. Bronchi are the main passage of oxygen to the lungs. Bronchi shuttle air to and from the lungs. These are of three types and oxygen travels into each in order first primary bronchi then secondary and in last to tertiary bronchi and bronchioles and ultimately to the site of gas exchange called alveoli.

Pathway - nasal cavities  > pharynx > trachea >bronchi (primary bronchi (right & left) > secondary bronchi > tertiary bronchi)> bronchioles > alveoli.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Think about a carbon atom that is released into the atmosphere from burning wood in a campfire. If it were to go through the who
Anna35 [415]

The correct order would be:

1. A tree absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere into its leaves for photosynthesis;

2. A caterpillar gets the carbon by eating the tree's leaves.

3. A bird gets the carbon by eating the caterpillar.

4. The bird flies into a building and dies instantly. It falls to the ground.

5. The bird decomposes and the carbon returns to the atmosphere.

The carbon cycle is very similar to the water cycle, though it has its own unique ways. Once the carbon is released into the atmosphere, it will either be absorbed by the vegetation, or go up into the higher parts of the atmosphere. If it is absorbed by the vegetation, the organisms that eat the vegetation will get it in them. When the predators eat those organism they get the carbon into their organisms. When the predators die, they start to decompose. When they decompose, the carbon is released from them and it returns to the atmosphere, and the whole process goes all over again.
