Answer: E. the food chain will be disrupted

Explanation:

The chemical fertilizers are the chemicals which contain essential elements which are required by the plants but not always present in the soil used for growing the crops.

According to the given situation, excessive use of fertilizers likely to affect the food chain of the agricultural ecosystem. As these fertilizers will be added up to the food chain. These fertilizers can be poisonous for microbes which act as decomposers of organic matter present in the soil. Also some of the insects will also get affected by the toxic chemicals. The plants will absorb these toxic chemicals which will be transmitted to the insects, herbivorous animals and to the humans. Hence, the toxicity will affect the population size of the susceptible species.

Therefore, the entire food chain will be disrupted by this way.

Which muscles assist in inhalation when running up the stairs? A) sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis major, scalenes B) sternocleid
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis minor, scalenes

Explanation:

During normal inhalation, contraction of the diaphragm and the contraction of external intercostals expands the chest cavity. The increased volume of the thoracic cavity results in reduced alveolar pressure than the atmospheric pressure to facilitate the flow of air into the lungs in response to the pressure gradient.

During deep inhalation as it occurs when running up the stairs, the accessory muscles of inhalation also participate to increase the volume of the chest cavity. The contraction of scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles increase the volume of the chest cavity further to create a greater drop in alveolar pressure.

During forceful inhalation, the sternocleidomastoid muscles serve to elevate the sternum, the scalene muscles serve to elevate the first two ribs while the pectoralis minor elevate the third through fifth ribs.
