It's not alive, nor is it even an organic compound.

- It cannot respond to stimuli (Responsiveness)
- It cannot secrete hormones (Secretion) 
- It cannot send messages along a nervous system or anything similar (Conductivity) 
- It cannot break down compounds to usable energy forms (Digestion) 
- It cannot absorb broken down compounds as an energy source (Absorption) 
- It cannot reproduce (Reproduction) 
- It cannot grow--it has no cells (Growth) 
- It cannot exchange gases between cells (Respiration) 
- It cannot rid itself of waste material (Excretion)

Which muscles assist in inhalation when running up the stairs? A) sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis major, scalenes B) sternocleid
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis minor, scalenes

Explanation:

During normal inhalation, contraction of the diaphragm and the contraction of external intercostals expands the chest cavity. The increased volume of the thoracic cavity results in reduced alveolar pressure than the atmospheric pressure to facilitate the flow of air into the lungs in response to the pressure gradient.

During deep inhalation as it occurs when running up the stairs, the accessory muscles of inhalation also participate to increase the volume of the chest cavity. The contraction of scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles increase the volume of the chest cavity further to create a greater drop in alveolar pressure.

During forceful inhalation, the sternocleidomastoid muscles serve to elevate the sternum, the scalene muscles serve to elevate the first two ribs while the pectoralis minor elevate the third through fifth ribs.

GIVING BRAINLIEST!!!
astra-53 [7]

Answer: C

Explanation: The process that occurred in the lake is natural selection. In the presence of an external environmental influence such as pollution, only the trouts that were fit to survive or in other words those that have the alleles that help in adapting to the new conditions live and increased in numbers. In such a case, one can say the fittest of the organisms survived and the corresponding allelic frequency in that population increased over time. The organisms carrying the other alleles died due to pollution and hence the overall frequency of alleles change.
