Particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the epithelial mucus.

Explanation:

The complete question is:

"Particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the .

a. tracheal carina

b. paranasal sinuses

c. pharyngeal muscles

d. epithelial mucus"

The nostril is covered with a mucous membrane that, at its highest part, is formed by an epithelium that contains cells that produce mucus and hair cells covered with fine hairs, called vibratil cilia. Epithelial cells help protect against the entry of microorganisms. In other words, certain types of epithelial cells have tiny hairs called cilia, which help remove foreign substances.

So, particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the epithelial mucus.

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
