Answer:

(B) the internal pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.

Explanation:

The process of respiration is divided into two distinct phases, inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation). During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and pulls downward while the muscles between the ribs contract and pull upward. This increases the size of the thoracic cavity and decreases the pressure inside. As a result, air rushes in and fills the lungs.

Hence, as the thoracic cavity increases in volume the lungs are pulled from all sides to expand, causing a drop in the pressure (a partial vacuum) within the lung itself.  As such the internal pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.

During expiration, diaphragm contracts inferiorly and thoracic muscles pull the chest wall outwardly (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.

A neuron transmits information by the secretion of hormones. True or False
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It helps in transmitting information from one neuron to another neuron, gland, or muscle cell.

The conduction of nerve impulse is electrochemical in nature. It transmits the impulse electrically through the axon the nerve cells and chemically through synapses (gap between two nerves cells).

The axon terminals of pre-synaptic nerve cell release chemical messengers (also called neurotransmitters) in the synaptic cleft. These messengers then bind to the receptors present on the post-synaptic nerve cell and regenerate the nerve impulse.

What is the resistance of a 20-cm-long column of blood in this artery? assume that resistivity of blood is equal to 1.6 ωm.
Alinara [238K]
The way in which you need to solve this is by using the formula:
<span>R = ρL/A 
</span>That one is the formula that demonstrates <span>Resistance of a wire in Ω.
The formula can be explained like this: 
</span><span>ρ is resistivity of the material in Ω-m </span>
<span>L is length in meters </span>
<span>A is cross-sectional area in m² </span>
<span>A = πr², r is radius of wire in m 
As soon as you have your numbers, you can replace and proceed to get the asnwer</span>

How many glucose molecules are made during one cycle of photosynthesis?
kondaur [170]
In the calvin cycle, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) is first and foremost responsible for making glucose. To make one G3P molecule, you need three turns of the calvin cycle. In the GP3 molecule, you hade 3 fixed carbon atoms. So to make a six-carbon glucose molecule, you need two GP3 molecules. Therefore it takes 6 turns of the calvin cycle (photosynthesis) to make a glucose molecule.
