Passive transport is a movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes through concentration gradients without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. The rate of passive transport depends on the permeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids and proteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration, and osmosis.

Answer:

During the course of a continuous isometric contraction of given strength, the electrical activity progressively increases. This is due to recruitment of motor units taking place to compensate the decrease in force of contraction occurring in the fatigued muscle fibres.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: lets the air get inside the lungs.

Explanation:

The process of ventilation, or breathing, consists of two parts: inhaling and exhaling.

Inhaling is the name of the process that is responsible for the air entering the body by the respiratory tract. Exhaling is the opposite, it lets the air out. Both are equally important since they allow the gas exchange necessary for the oxygenation of the blood.

When inhaling, the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles contract. This pulls the ribcage upwards and outwards, which increases lung volume while decreasing the air pressure inside.
