When the respiratory diaphragm contracts, it flattens, lowering the floor of the thoracic cavity. At the same time, the intercos

tal muscles pull the ribs up and out. The active forces of the muscle groups cause a(n) __________ (increase/decrease) in thoracic volume. Given the relationship between pressure and volume, this would cause pressure within the lungs to __________ (increase/decrease)

Answer:

1. Increase

2.  Decrease

Explanation:

During inspiration, diaphragm contracts and lowers down. There is a simultaneous contraction of external intercostal muscles and movement of rib-cage upward and outward. All these events lead to an increase in the volume of the thoracic cavity. Increase in volume of the thoracic cavity results in expansion of lungs and lowering down the air pressure within alveoli of lungs.

How does heat transfer from the tea to the spoon?
Licemer1 [7]
This occurs through conduction when two things get in contact with each other.

here's a definition from kid's britannica: "<span>Conduction transfers heat within a body or between two bodies that are touching. It is a point-by-point process of heat transfer. Conduction occurs in solids, liquids, or gases that are at rest. Energy flows, but the substance through which the heat is being transferred does not itself flow."</span>

Function of cell structure Description
Anton [14]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C.</em>

Explanation:

The structure mentioned in the question is cell membrane. The cell membrane can be described as a semi-permeable membrane which regulates the export and import of particles across the cell membrane. Some molecules move inside the cell along the concentration gradient by passive transport while other molecules move inside through active transport i.e against the concentration gradient.

The cell membrane is made up of phosphate head and fatty acid tails.

B, for sure. Producers, Like grass and Flowers need water to make food. Consumers, like Cats, Snakes and Boars need water to drink so our internal systems will function properly. 
Im not sure if decomposers need water, but if there is less water then more animals die and they get food. so, not sure about that one.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

The correct option is A) the hypothalamus

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a part of the diencephalon located below the thalamus and formed by several nuclei of neurons with their associated nerve fibers, many of them neurosecretory nature, that is, to the hypothalamus, afferent and efferent pathways arrive and depart respectively, which connect it with different regions of the brain and outside it, receives signals from internal sensory receptors and, in response, sends orders through pathways in which very few synapses intervene to quickly generate regulatory responses, for this reason, the hypothalamus is considered the center of neuroendocrine, autonomous and homeostatic regulation, which acts as an integrating center coordinating environmental messages, rhythms, endogenous development patterns, emotions and body signals, to finally produce, in an integrated way, early autonomous responses and relatively late endocrine responses.
