4

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

53% Answer Correctly

nasal cavity

trachea

epiglottis

pharynx


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.


5

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

63% Answer Correctly

lactic acid or alcohol

starches

water

ascorbic acid or peptides


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
