Bioaccumulation is the process by which chemicals are stored in the tissues of living organisms. It is the accumulation of chemicals in the tissue of organisms through any route including, respiration, ingestion or direct contact with contaminated water, sediment and pore water in the sediment. These chemical substances include, pesticides or other chemicals.
Answer: lateral external intercostals and external intercostal muscles
Explanation:
The inspiration is the process of drawing air into the lungs. The primary muscles required for the inspiration include internal and intercostal muscles, parasternal portion required for the internal intercostal muscles.
These muscles can elevate the bony ribs when the air for breathing is inhaled and increase the air capacity for lungs.
The regions which receive a lot of volcanic activities are those that belong to the Pacific Ring of Fire. This belt contains more than 80% of the volcanoes in the globe. Specifically, the 3 countries with most volcanic activities are Indonesia, Philippines and Japan.
The answer is B. The can lose their form/function and become denatured with extreme temperature or pH variations.
Proteins function optimally at a specific temperature. So if you get too hot or too cold, biochemical reactions in your body start to function less well. If the situation becomes extreme enough, they can cease to function well enough to sustain life.
Warm-blooded animals have an advantage over cold-blooded ones in that their bodies automatically try to maintain the optimal termperature for things in their bodies to function. Cold-blooded animals depend on the environmental temperature to do this for them. That's why reptiles are very sluggish when they're cold, but will "wake up" when they get warm.
The cost to this benefit is that metabolically, warm-blooded animals require a lot more fuel to run their bodies. It's very energy-intensive to maintain a constant body temperature. Cold-blooded animals require far less fuel than warm-blooded ones relative to their size.
The way that proteins operate in a specific temperature is also true of the pH in your body which is also very tightly maintained.
