aphragm and the muscles of the rib cage. What effect will this have on the ability of people with this disease to carry out gas exchange?
-It will decrease the ability to exhale but the ability to inhale will be unaffected.
-It will decrease their ability to exchange air into and out of the lungs, decreasing gas exchange.
-It will have no effect on their ability to carry out gas exchange.

Answer:

It will decrease their ability to exchange air into and out of the lungs, decreasing gas exchange.

Explanation:

Muscular dystrophy is a rare genetic disease of the skeletal system which occurs early in childhood. Other symptom of muscular dystrophy include impaired learning,muscle stiffness and pain. The rib cage protects and houses the lungs. When the muscle of the rib cages gets impaired then it affects how gases are inhaled and exhaled.

Why is fishing for some kinds of ocean fish controlled by laws?
lora16 [44]
C is the answer. Due to the current state of the world economy; people, if left to their own devices, would fish as much as possible so they can sell their fish to make money. Current technology means we can catch as many fish as we want (trawlers etc.). The problem with this is that there is only a finite amount of fish in the sea. If we were to fish them without limits in place, we could cause them to go extinct.

(PLEASE ANSWER ASAP, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST)
noname [10]

The answers include the following:

  • Arrow F represents transpiration.
  • Matter is conserved through the process in which carbon from carbon dioxide leaves and enters into the atmosphere.
  • This process is a recycling of carbon in the carbon cycle because it involves it travelling the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth in a repeated manner.

<h3>What is Carbon cycle?</h3>

This refers to the  biogeochemical cycle in which carbon is  reused through different types of mechanisms and actions.

This process involves carbon travelling the atmosphere into organisms in the earth in a repeated fashion through methods such as respiration, transpiration etc which is how recycling works.

This is therefore the reason why it can be regarded as the process which involves matter and conservation and recycling.
