<span>Answer:During expiration, the volume of the thorax decreases as the diaphragm rises/relaxes.
In expiration the air gets out of the lungs and it's not occupying as much space in the lungs, so the volume of the thorax will decrease. Meanwhile, the diaphragm can go to his relaxed stage and move </span><span><span>superiorly</span>

Answer:
This question lacks options, options are:
Chlamydiae
Planctomycetes
Rickettsia
Bacteroidetes
The correct answer is Chlamydiae.
Explanation:
Chlamydiae together with mycoplasmas, constitute the bacterial species with the smallest genomes, possibly because they are obligate small intracellular parasites for a long time, which has allowed them to lose certain metabolic pathways, however, they contain DNA, RNA and ribosomes therefore synthesize their own proteins and nucleic acids. Chlamydiae have a unique biphasic life cycle: the elemental body, which is the infectious form, and the reticular body, which is the replicative and metabolically active form that possesses a fragile membrane that lacks the extensive disulfide bonds characteristic of elemental bodies. The characteristics of its biological cycle do not facilitate the possibility of exchange and acquisition of exogenous genetic material.
The correct answer is - b) parasitism.
The kudzu is a plant that has adapted to get stuck to the other plants, usually trees and bigger shrubs, and get nutrients and water through them. In this way, the kudzu shows elements of parasitism, as it is using a host plant in order to satisfy its needs.
The native plants and shrubs will have a big problem with an introduction of the kudzu in their environment. They will not have a defense mechanism, and the kudzu will spread out very quickly and suck the nutrients and water out of them, hindering their growth and even killing them over the coarse of longer period of time.
This would be a prime example of parasitic relationship between the kudzu and the native plants.
