What is the medium in which sound travels inside a bird's body?

Bird sounds are made in the syrinx, but of course, the air sacs, passageways and  the bird's lungs, also contribute to the production of sounds.

When birds start to sing,the 2 passageways between the lung and the syrinx, closes. Then, the sir is squeezed into the air sacs by the chest muscles. Squeezing the air sacs that surrounds the syrinx forces each of the two thin membranes in the syrinx into the 2 passageways between the lung and the syrinx.This process does not allow air to travel through.Afterwhich, muscles around the syrinx contract and tighten one membrane and pulls it out into the passageway (1 of the passageway). Air in that passageway can now move,which passes quickly over the membrane. That fast moving air causes a vibration, thus, sound is produced.

Explain the effect of temperature and pH on enzyme action.<br><br> Needs to be done ASAP.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

enzymes loose their form in both unsuitable ph and temprature.

Explanation:

at very high tempratures enzyme molecules denatures due to high speed movements, at low tempratures enzymes works too slow to be useful enough.

low ph solotions contain lot of H+  and high ph solutions have few H+ , and the number of these H+ ions have polar effects on enzymes.  some Enzymes like pepsin works perfect in acidic environment ( ph=2)  while others might work at  high ph  or average ph( like Trypsin  works well at ph=7).
