Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) C-shaped cartilage rings </em>

Explanation:

The trachea is commonly known as the wind-pipe. The trachea can be described as about a 4 inch long passage from which the air travels into the bronchi and lungs. The pathway of the trachea is kept open by C- shaped cartilages which are lined all over in the trachea. The C-shaped cartilages protects as well as maintain the shape of the wind-pipe. The rigidity of the trachea arises from the C-shaped cartilages.

Explain why the vessels that transport water in trees must be very small in diameter.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The diameter of the xylem vessels should be small in order for the capillary action to take place.

Explanation:

The vessels through which water is transported to different parts of the plants and trees are the xylem. Water is transported in the trees through a mechanism named as capillary action. This mechanism can occur only if the diameter of the vessels are small.

The water molecules adhere to the walls of xylem and an upward force is generated. If the diameter of the vessels i.e xylem would be small then the surface tension between the xylem and water molecules would be enough to move the water in an upward direction.
