What is the purpose of the mucus in your nose?

A) Protects lungs B) Clear air passage
C) Protects nose D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Protects lungs

Explanation:

When you breathe in air through your nose, it contains lots of tiny things, like dust, dirt, germs, and pollen.

The air enters our body through the nose. However, before it enters the lungs, it must be heated and purified. Many dust particles that enter along with the air are removed in the nose by mucus and thus it protects lungs.

Q:

Which of the following is true about veins?

A) Veins carry blood away from the heart, while arteries carry blood to the heart. B) Veins are more muscular than arteries.
C) Veins have valves; arteries do not. D) Veins have a smaller diameter lumen than arteries.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Veins have valves; arteries do not.

Explanation:

Veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast to veins, arteries carry blood away from the heart.

 

Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin. There are valves in most veins to prevent backflow.

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Lungs

Explanation:

Emphysema is a condition that involves damage to the walls of the air sacs (alveoli) of the lung i.e, primarily causes shortness of breath due to over-inflation of the alveoli.

Q:

The main result of aerobic respiration is the

A) production of lactic acid as an end product B) production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose
C) conversion of radiant energy into chemical energy D) storage of energy in a polysaccharide
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose

Explanation:

The three steps within the aerobic respiration process are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis builds glucose, and what was built in photosynthesis is broken down during aerobic respiration.

 

Hence, production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose is the main result of aerobic respiration.
