<h2>Diaphragm </h2>

Explanation:

The process of breathing (respiration) is divided into two distinct phases: inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation), the relaxation of the diaphragm occurs at the completion of the air intake

During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and pulls downward while the muscles between the ribs contract and pull upward which increases the size of the thoracic cavity and decreases the pressure inside, as a result air rushes in and fills the lungs

But opposite happens during expiration, the diaphragm relaxes and the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases, while the pressure within it increases, as a result the lungs contract and air is forced out

Interaction: lungs supply oxygen carried by blood to cells of the body

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Lungs supply oxygen carried by blood to cells of the body. The cells which are responsible for the transportation of oxygen is hemoglobin. When oxygen rich hemoglobin reaches a cell so the oxygen is unloaded and carbondioxide which is produced as a waste product is loaded in hemoglobin. Again this hemoglobin goes to the lungs and dispose carbondioxide there and repeat the process again.

There are three ways that natural selection can chnage a population. list all three of them AND then describe atleast 2 of them.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.

Explanation:

Evolution, in genetic terms, involves a change in the frequency of alleles in a population over time. What are the sources of genetic variation? Three sources of genetic variation are mutation, genetic recombination during sexual reproduction and lateral gene transfer.
