Cilia protects the nasal passageways and other parts of the respiratory tract. It filters out dust and other particles that enter the nose through the breathed air. Cilia propels a liquid layer of mucus that covers the airways. The mucus layer traps pathogens (potentially infectious microorganisms) and other particles, preventing them from reaching the lungs.

How much faster does sound travel in the ocean than in the rain forest?
Greeley [361]
Hi there,
Speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 meters per second (the exact speed depends on the depth of water and its density) and the speed of sound in air is approximately 340 meters per second. So sound is almost 4.4 times faster in water than in air. I hope this helped :)

Which characteristic of living things is important to the survival of a group of animals rather than an individual member of thi
sammy [17]

Answer:

If a whole specie of organisms has to survive, they should must possess the ability to reproduce and adopt to environmental conditions in better way.

For example: If a disaster occurs or a condition of unfavorable weather occurs, the specie will survive even if only few members remain alive. Because those members will reproduce and regrow the community.

The reason is this that reproduction is not important for the survival of one organism, like organism will still survive even if he do not reproduce, but if a whole specie has to survive and continue, reproduction is most important trait.

Hope it help!

If a plant's leaves developed so that its vascular tissue only contained xylem, how would this affect the rest of the plant's ph
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

If a plant's leaves only contained the vascular tissue xylem, then it will not be possible for the plant to absorb carbon dioxide. As carbon dioxide is required for photosynthesis to occur, this means that the process of photosynthesis will not take place. As a result, the plant will not be able to produce food as photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food. This will result in the plant to die eventually in the end due to lack of food.
