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.

What process is occurring in this picture at B?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

Translation is the second process that occurs in protein synthesis. It is the process whereby mRNA template is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence, which eventually becomes a protein.

The process of translation occurs in the cytoplasm (specifically in the ribosome). As depicted in this image, the mRNA produced during transcription is transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. A RNA molecule called tRNA reads the mRNA sequence (codon by codon) and carries corresponding amino acid into the growing amino acid sequence.

Hence, according to this question, the process occuring at B according to this image is TRANSLATION.

As seen in the video game death stranding.
Two extinction level events happened and wiped out half of all human life. Building and cars and homes were destroyed and replaced by growling grass or dirt. A new species of bug came about called a cryptobite and a bridge was formed between the world of living and dead and hence forth came the rise of beached things
