Answer:
d. Inspiration involves muscular contractions and expiration is passive
Explanation:
Breathing is the process of taking air in and out of the body or more specifically taking oxygen in and moving carbon dioxide out of the body. Our respiration rate is regulated by medulla in brain and alter according to our activities.
Quiet breathing is slow, relaxed breathing that lowers the blood pressure, slows the heart rate beat and calms the mind. It is done while sitting or maintaining a proper posture that require less energy and opposite to deep breathing that done during energetic activities like running.
Diaphragm is the main muscle movement during quiet breathing, which must contract to carry out it because its contraction draw the air to alveoli. So inspiration involves the contraction of muscles but the expiration is passive in quiet breathing. The reason is that due to the relaxed elastic muscles, the lungs and chest wall regain their resting volume according to the functional residual capacity.
Answer:
Water in its liquid form has a boiling point temperature close to 100°C. As a result of the network of hydrogen bonding present between water molecules, a high input of energy is required to transform one gram of liquid water into water vapor, an energy requirement called the heat of vaporization.
Cohesion is responsible for the transport of the water column in plants. Adhesion is water attracted to other material.
Water has a greater surface tension than most other liquids because hydrogen bonds among surface water molecules resist stretching or breaking the surface.
Specific Heat is the amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for one gram of a substance to change its temperature by 1*C.
Density is when hydrogen bonds in water expand as it warms and contracts as it cools. The hydrogen bonds keeps the molecules far enough a part to make ice have fewer molecules.

Answer:
Thymosin
Explanation:
Thymosin is the term used to refer to a set of thymus polypeptide hormones that influence the maturation of T lymphocytes intended to play an active role in cell mediated immunity. Thymosin may serve as an immunotransmitter by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal and gonadal axes. It also helps to counteract the harmful effects of cortisol.
Answer:
According to collision- coalescence theory, formation of raindrop from cloud droplets occurs when cloud droplets collide and coalesce or stick together.
Explanation:
- The only significant difference between a raindrop and a cloud droplet is that a raindrop consist of a velocity that is non-negligible during the fall.
- Larger droplets having higher terminal velocities fall faster and collide with smaller droplets. Often the cloud droplets stick together and coalesce to form a larger droplet.
- This starts a chain reaction where these bigger droplets fall even rapidly, collide with the other droplets in their path and merge with these droplets.
C. Insulating the body
Insulating the body is not a function of a protein.
Lipids are macromolecules which provide insulation.
<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.
