Answer:

The correct answer would be c. An increase in lung volume decreases the pressure within the lungs so air can flow inside.

During inspiration or breathing in, the diaphragm contract and move downwards which increases the volume of the chest cavity. Consequently, the volume of the lungs also increases.

In addition, the contraction of intercostal muscles pulls the ribcage outwards and upwards which also increases the size of the chest cavity.

This also increases the lung volume due to which the air pressure inside the lungs is decreased as compared to the air pressure outside the body.

It results in the movement of air inside the lungs from outside the body as air moves from the region of high pressure to the region of low pressure.

goldfiish [28.3K]

In the United States the direction the continental polar air mass move South toward the Gulf of Mexico to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Air masses are large bodies of air moving horizontally in a very uniform way.  Continental polar air mass is an air mass that forms near the poles. It originates in northern Canada and Alaska and move south then East.

The continental polar masses are the causes for the severe cold weather in the South during the cold months. Maritime tropical mass are warm and have high moisture content. During winter it comes in contact with the continental polar mass hence getting stabilized.

The concentration of solute outside of the cell are_____than the inside of the cell
tatiyna

Answer:

If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ). A single animal cell ( like a red blood cell) placed in a hypotonic solution will fill up with water and then burst.

An operational definition is used for a behavior so that
dezoksy [38]

An operational definition is used for a behavior so that the behavior can be properly described and understood. Without an operational definition, it would be difficult to describe behavior without being subjective. Therefore, behavior cannot be understood and cannot be correctly addressed. It is also important to understand how behavior functions so that the antecedents and consequences of behavior can be observed. Thus, what reinforces or affects the behavior can be better understood. Lastly, an operational definition is objective and specific, therefore, behavior can be described across different settings and times.
