Answer:
C. When the chest volume expands, air can now rush in through the puncture without filling the alveoli.
Explanation:
During inhalation, the contraction of the diaphragm and the external intercostals increase the volume of the chest cavity. As the chest cavity expands, the alveolar pressure become lower than the atmospheric pressure resulting in the flow of air into the lungs in response to the pressure gradient.
The chest cavity is an airtight chamber. This ensures that any changes in the volume of are chest cavity corresponds to the volume of the lungs. If a lung is punctured, the air would not fill the punctured lung but would escape through the hole. Therefore, the punctured lung would not be filled with air during inhalation.
Answer:
Its speed is determined by three major factors: soil organisms, the physical environment and the quality of the organic matter (Brussaard, 1994). In the decomposition process, different products are released: carbon dioxide (CO2), energy, water, plant nutrients and resynthesized organic carbon compounds.
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. Separation of sister chromatids and centromeres.
During metaphase of mitosis, there is alignment of chromosomes at the equatorial plate of the cell and then Anaphase begins with separation of the duplicated centromeres of each pair of sister chromatids. The daughter chromosomes starts moving toward opposite poles due to the action of the spindle fibres. As this stage chromosomes appear like V or J shape. At the end of anaphase, a complete set of chromosomes has gathered at each pole of the cell.
Answer:
D) Light and Water
Explanation:
Using energy from light, plants chemically combine carbon dioxide and water to create glucose and oxygen. This process is called photosynthesis. Plants also absorb oxygen gas from the air. Like animals, plants need oxygen to respire.
