What is the correct sequence of steps in the confirmation process?
dezoksy [38]
The process of confirmation include the following sequence;
1. President nominates
2. Senate committee examines
3. Senate debates
4. Floor vote is taken.
The confirmation process begins when the President selects a nominee for a vacant judgeship. The president then refers the nominee to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on the nominee and then the judiciary votes on whether to report the nominee to the full Senate. The full Senate has the opportunity to debate the nomination and if any senator objects to unanimous consent, then a cloture motion must be filed in order to end debate and move to a vote. Once the senate holds a confirmation vote, with a majority voting to confirm, the nominee becomes a federal judge.

Jon likes hiking. He observes that whenever he hikes up a hill he breathes heavier than when he is on flat ground. Which 2 state
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

Explanation:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

-The body has too little carbon dioxide to maintain function.

-The body is using carbon dioxide instead of oxygen to make energy.

-Blood pressure has decreased, so less blood is being pumped to the muscles.

<em>The correct answer would be that </em><em>sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen</em><em> and t</em><em>he muscles in the body of Jon need more energy and therefore, more oxygen.</em>

At sea level, the atmospheric pressure easily allow oxygen to permeate the cells of the lung and diffuse into the blood. At high altitudes, air pressure is generally lower and permeation/diffusion through the cells of the lung into the blood becomes difficult.

<u>Without adequate oxygen, the body cannot generate energy needed for physical activities of muscles. Consequently, the sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen and the body system reacts by breathing heavily to compensate for the oxygen shortage.</u>
