Answer:
B. In skeletal muscle, calcium initiates contraction by binding to troponin, while in smooth muscle calcium initiates contraction by binding to calmodulin.
Explanation:
The Calcium ions (Ca2 +) have a key role in skeletal muscle contraction. Moreover, the Troponins are regulatory proteins that also play roles in skeletal contraction. In this muscle, troponin is attached to tropomyosin, when Ca2 + binds to troponin it induces a conformational change, thereby exposing this protein to its binding to myosin filaments on the actin filaments, which initiates muscle contraction.
On the other hand, calmodulin (calcium-modulated protein) is a protein which mediates the contractile state of the smooth muscle by binding Ca2+ ions. The function of this protein is to stimulate the development of force (contraction) in response to Ca2+ ions by activating the phosphorylation of myosin.
Answer:
The answer would be the animal that is being pointed at by the plant (if it is a diagram) or the animal that is ONLY eating plants.
Explanation:
The question is asking about an animal that gets nutrients DIRECTLY from producers. In other words, it is asking for an animal that only receives energy from plants.
Explanation:
Crossing over is a type of recombination that occurs during prophase I of meiosis and results in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. In a population where crossing over occurs frequently, there would be increased gene pool or genetic drift and variations compared to a population where individual chromosomes do not cross over. The offspring will be genetically unique because of crossing over and independent assortment.
