Answer:

Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that affects the lungs. The lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred which causes it to be thickened and stiff.

The condition pulmonary fibrosis is caused by the replacement of elastic fibers in the lung with inelastic collagen fibers. This decreases the lungs’ ability to stretch outwards.

Pulmonary fibrosis however mainly affects inspiration because the lungs cannot stretch to increase volume while during expiration stretching of the tissues doesn’t happen so it doesn’t affect the process.

Answer:

inspiration

Explanation:

The ability if the lungs to stretch  due to contraction of  inter coastal muscles ensures that maximum air enters the lungs as the lungs expands,  and enough oxygen enter the alveoli to reach the blood,this is inspiration.

If inelastic collagen fibres replaces the elastic fibres, the failure of the lung to stretch outwards,increase in volume, deceases the lung capacity, thus maximum filling inspiration is prevented, and therefore low oxygen supplies to the needed organs.

Where the carbon dioxide in yeast come from?
Furkat [3]
Carbon dioxide from the yeast comes from a process called fermentation. Fermentation is a cellular respiration process in cells that happens when oxygen is not present. If oxygen is present, the process is called aerobic respiration.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

When the females tend to form a solitary group, the adult males have an advantage of mating with females in different social groups thus enhancing on the productivity of the species.

Explanation:

When both the sexes of the species tend to make a group, the males and the females of the group have to mate with the members of that particular group and hence the males have restricted mating options which reduce the size of the herd. When the females have a separate social group, the males can mate with the members of different groups and raise the herd size in a short period of time. This helps in the increase in the population size and also helps in avoiding inbreeding depression which happens among small grouped animals.
