Answer:

decreases; rises; out of

Explanation:

When the diaphragm contracts, the size of the thoracic cavity <u>decreases</u>, the pressure inside the thoracic cavity<u> increases</u>, and air flows <u>out of</u> the lungs.

<em>During the process of breathing out, the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles relax and this leads to a </em><em>decrease</em><em> in the volume of the thoracic cavity. Since there is an inverse relationship between volume and pressure, the decrease in the volume of the thoracic cavity leads to an </em><em>increase</em><em> in its pressure. Consequently, the lung contracts and </em><em>air is forced to leave it.</em>

A change in the temperature of the core would affect all of the following except:
Pani-rosa [81]
Answer is D: the current make up of the crust

Changes in the temperature of the Earth's core will do the following:
1. Cause the outer core to solidify 
-this means that the liquid outer core which is responsible for generating the magnetic field protecting us humans from solar radiation will be gone

2. Cause the mantle to solidify
-this means that if the mantle solidifies, the plate tectonics will stop moving around, and if this happens, the earthquakes and volcanoes will not be produced anymore and also mountain ranges will not be renewed, and the earth will be flattened by erosion.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

They are Y shaped proteins that work kind of like a laser on a gun in a sense

After the Bacteria has been destroyed they also stay around and remember what that bacteria looked like so your body can try and stop that type of bacteria sooner and more effectively.
