One of the side effects of smoking is the damage of cilia in the trachea which allows particles to entre the lungs. Smoking destroys the cilia which are key in keeping particles from getting down into your lungs so every time a person smokes more and more cilia are destroyed.

Correct answer: A). Smoking damages cilia in the trachea and more particles enter the lungs

Tar is a particulate matter that is generated by the burning of tobacco, in a form of cigarette smoke. It contains a variety of inorganic and organic chemicals like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and volatile compounds.

Smoking is known to destroy the cilia, fine hair that is known to be found in the upper airways that help to protect against the infection. If cilia are damaged then tar can more easily penetrate into the lungs can cause more damage and may cause cancer.

Hence, the correct answer would be option A.

Which reason best explains why dead specimens must be used with transmission electron microscopes
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The specimen are placed in vacuum while examining the cells or living organisms. Also, the electron must penetrate inside of the cell and in such conditions, any living organism is not able to survive. Thus, this reason best explains the answer to why dead cells specimen must be used for Transmission electron microscopy.

Which answer best defines what the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model mathematically describes?-The competition among many preda
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The simultaneous effect of a predator population on a prey population and a prey population on a predator population over time.

Explanation:  

The mathematical models of Lotka-Volterra equations explain the existing interaction between species in which prey and predator influence and affect each other. The model follows a few assumptions,    

  • The ecosystem is isolated and closed. There is no migration.
  • The whole individuals are reproductively equivalent.
  • In the absence of the predator, prey shows an exponential growth rate. The prey is in the ideal environment.  
  • When there is no prey, the predator population decreases exponentially because of the lack of food. The predator environment is ideal, but it is limited by prey density.  
  • The predation rate is proportional to the encounters rate, which also depends on density.  
  • The predators affect the prey populations, inducing its decrease proportionally to the number of prey and predators present.  
  • The prey population also influences the predator population proportionally to the number of encounters between the two species.  

In these equations, the variable D is the number of predators, and P the number of prey items.

The parameters are always constant:  

• r1: prey growth rate.  

• a1: predator hunting success.  

• r2: predator growth rate.  

• a2: the success of the predator in hunting and feeding.

In nature, many factors affect interactions, such as dense-dependent factors and dense-independent factors. Also, in reality, there are stochastic factors. Stochasticity refers to the variability in the system involving those factors that are affecting or influencing population growth. Stochasticity might be related to good years and bad years for population growth.

In real situations, the compliance of the whole assumption does not occur. The previously mentioned constants might vary, constantly changing the interaction between the predator and the prey. These parameters change in different degrees, resulting in varying circumstances for both species.

Which component in a graph indicates an independent factor
bonufazy [111]
The independent factor is typically the unit on the x axis, while the dependent is on the y axis. An Example would be miles per hour, miles would be graphed on the y axis, and hours on the x axis.
