<span>The secretion of excess mucous in the digestive tract may result in loose stools or diarrhea. The purpose of the excess secretions is to lubricate the digestive tract so that food can pass through during digestion with greater ease. The secretion of excess mucous in the respiratory passageway could result in increased coughing as the body attempts to expel the mucous (and the offending irritants) from the lungs and bronchial tubes. This occurs when either physical debris (such as inhaled dust or dirt particles) or pathogens (such as bacteria and viruses) have entered the respiratory passageway and the body attempts to remove them; an example is the common cold.</span>

slega [8]

Answer:

the molecules are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that<u> the molecules of water are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.</u>

<em>Water molecules in ice form are usually less dense than water molecules in liquid form. The water molecules in ice usually arrange themselves in a lattice form, unlike the random form in liquid water. This arrangement makes water molecules in ice to be more evenly spread out than in their liquid counterpart. Thus, ice is usually less dense than liquid water and will obey the principle of flotation by floating on water. </em>
