Does mould on food such as leftovers bread and jelly give you cancer?
Mold cannot give you cancer; however, it can make you sick and you should not eat it or give it to the birds, as they will become ill also. If you accidently eat bread with a little mold it won't make you sick, but if you persist on eating a lot of mold the above poster is correct. During hot weather I keep my bread in the fridge. Warmth and the yeast in the bread is what causes mold, so get that bread in the fridge!

How does air passes through the lungs?
When one inhales, oxygen-rich air reaches the alveoliwhich are air sacs located in the lungs. The oxygen diffusesthrough the thin walls of the alveoli through the thin walls of the capillaries. The blood rich in oxygen carries it to the heart through the pulmonary vein. The heart pumps it through all parts of the body.
Meanwhile, deoxygenated blood rich in carbon dioxide reaches the pulmonary artery of the heart from various parts of the body. The blood diffuses through the capillary wall into the alveoli, and is exhaled.
Path of air (during inhalation) before reaching the alveoli:
- Nostrils
- Nasal Cavity
- Pharynx
- Larynx
- Trachea (windpipe)
- Bronchi
- Bronchioles
- Alveoli
What is the thing that lungs are connected to nose by it?
The lungs are connected to the nose by the trachea, also known as the windpipe. When you breathe in, air travels through the nasal passages, down the trachea, and into the lungs. The trachea branches into smaller tubes called bronchi, leading to each lung. This pathway facilitates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the respiratory system.
