Answer:

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

Which of the following statements is true? Choose one: A. Bacterial species use a limited number of nutrient sources. B. All bac
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A. Bacterial species use a limited number of nutrient sources.

Explanation:

    There are two classes of nutrients that are indispensable to bacteria: macronutrients (carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and hydrogen) and micronutrients (iron, zinc, manganese, calcium, potassium, sodium, copper, chlorine, cobalt, molybdenum, selenium, magnesium, among many others). But it takes more than the nutrients for them to feed, it takes the metabolism, because it is through it that they transform what they have into food.

    The absorption of nutrients to carry out the metabolism only occurs because there are growth factors (environmental) that influence the development of the bacteria. Some examples of these factors are: light, temperature, pH, oxygen and osmotic pressure. Each organism has an optimal growth temperature, or a favorable pH to successfully carry out its metabolism. This will vary from species to species.
