Answer: lower atmospheric pressure

Explanation:

During the inspiration process the diaphragm, and external intercostal muscles. The contraction of the diaphragm causes the increase in the size of the thoracic cavity this causes the contraction of the external intercostal muscles. As a result of this the ribs and the sternum get elevated.  

This causes the lungs to expand, and increasing the volume of the air passage. In this response the air pressure inside the lungs reduces below the air outside the body. Thus this facilitates the movement of the gases from a region of high pressure to low pressure, this way the air rushes into the lungs.

Zara had a birthday and was able to choose a pet. The pet that she chose was a beautiful clownfish named Bozo, a common salt wat
White raven [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The advice I would give  to Zara would be that she should keep Bozo in a separate tank with common salt water away from the goldfish. Bozo is a salt water fish while the goldfish can only survive in freshwater.</em>

If Bozo is kept in a saltless water/freshwater tank with the goldfish, the water would be hypotonic to Bozo. Consequently, water will osmotically diffuse into the cells of Bozo, the cells would become turgid and lyse, and this would lead to the death of the fish.

If the goldfish is kept in the same salt water tank with Bozo, the salt water would be hypertonic to the goldfish. Consequently, water will osmotically diffuse out of the cells of the goldfish into the surrounding salt water, the cells of the goldfish would become flaccid, and this would lead to the death of the fish.
