worty [1.4K]

Answer:

trapping microorganisms

Explanation:

The primary role of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph through the body. Lymph is a fluid that contains white blood cells that fight with infection. Besides this immune function, lymphatic system has a role in fat and vitamin absorption and transportation.  

Lymphatic system consists of vessels similar to blood vessels and nodes where the lymph is filtered. Lymph capillaries are closed on one side, so lymph does not circulate, but only drains to reach veins. In lymphatic system there is no such thing as a pump (only lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes).

WARRIOR [948]

You could extrapolate from this article that if you eliminated mutations in mitochondria, you could eliminate disease.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mitochondria are found all over our body except in red blood cells. This mitochondria aids in the process of ATP synthesis. Sometimes mutation occurs in the mitochondrial DNA which causes disease in the mitochondria and hence is the root cause of various diseases.

In most cells the mutated mitochondria are removed by the mitophagy which is a natural phenomenon found in all the cells. The mtDNA mutations caused are actually inherited from the mother. Now scientists have developed ways to eliminate the mutated mitochondria from the mother either before or after fertilization. Hence by altering the mutated mitochondria we can eliminate various diseases.
