Answer:

In quiet breathing inspiration involves muscular contractions and expiration is passive.

Explanation:

Respiration process involves two different stages, inspiration - inhalation- and expiration - exhalation-.

During inspiration, the diaphragm <u>contracts</u> and goes down, while intercostal muscles also <u>contract</u> and go up. These actions enhance the size of the thoracic box and <u>reduce internal pressure</u>. As a result, air flows in and fills the lungs.

During expiration, the <u>diaphragm relaxes</u> and the volume of the thoracic box diminishes, which causes the <u>pressure inside to increase</u>. In consequence, the lungs contract and the air is expulsed outside.

What is a chromosome? ( In simple terms please)
ratelena [41]
Well the definition in an actual dictionary or scientific book is quite confusing, so to put it simply:
A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

If that makes any sense.
That’s really as simple as I know it.
Chromosomes are complex, so a simple definition doesn’t come easy.
Happy to help!
