Answer:

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

Explanation:

The process of ventilation, or breathing, consists of two parts: <u>inhaling and exhaling.</u>

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.

Answer:

These are the mechanism of inspiration which increases the capacity  of the thoracic cavity, for maximum volume of air to be inhaled during inspiration.

The contraction makes the diaphragm to move towards the abdominal cavity inferiorily  creating the space for the distention of lungs during filling with air. When the external inter coastal muscles contracts, the rib cage is pushed upwards and outwards with the sternum remain fixed. This causes expansion of the rib-cage, with further widening of the  thoracic cavity for maximum lung capacity.

AnnyKZ [126]
The correct answers are:
A-Chemical energy is released.
D-Thermal energy is released.    
<span>The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP releases heat which means that the thermal energy is released. But, ATP has a high level of chemical potential which can be used in many cellular processes. The chemical potential of one molecule can be used to raise the chemical potential of the other and release some heat as a byproduct (for example, the phosphorylation of glucose to become glucose-6-phosphate).</span>
