During breathing IN, external intercostal muscles contract, internal intercostal muscles relax, diaphragm contracts moving downwards, the rib cage moves up and out pulling the lungs and thus increasing their volume. And as in Physics, pressure is inversely proportional to volume so an increase in volume decreases pressure, this forces air INTO the lungs from high to low pressure to even out the pressure difference. During breathing out the reverse happens!
Hope this helps :) !

Here..
This experiment is for the uptake of oxygen ,There are two test tubes
The one joined with tube X has germinating seeds & the one joined with tube Y has dead seeds
Both have soda lime present that absorbs carbondioxide
Respiration takes place only through the tube X (as Y contains dead seeds)
The seeds need oxygen which they take from the coloured water (the carbondioxed released is absorbed by soda lime)
So, there is a rise in tube X and tube y is unchanged .. Ans is D :)

The germinating seeds use up the oxygen present in the tube, so the pressure acting upon the coloured water becomes less and therefore the air pressure acting on the water causes the water level to rise.
This does not occur in the other tube, since no oxygen is being used from the tube. (as mentioned by thats_me)

N 98 - Q20, ms says C, but I believe it's D as both rate and depth of breathing should increase!
N 2000 Q15, shouldn't be C (duodenum) not ileum(D) ?
Q24, ms says A, but shouldn't the plumule also show negative geotropism (C) ???​
Please someone help in these 3 questions :unsure: !

for 20 the ans is D
q15 I think its duodenum and illeum absorbs the products of fat digestion
n 24 is also C :S
try checking the ms again :S
