The motor unit is composed of the motor neuron and innervated fibers, which are the ones that contract. 1) motor unit 2) contract.

<h3>What is the motor unit?</h3>

The<u> motor unit</u> is the association between the motor neuron and a group of fibers from the muscle.

A single muscle is composed of several motor units. But the fibers involved in only one motor unit are just a little part of the whole muscle mass, meaning this is the part that will contract.

The motor unit is the basic unit from which the CNS controls motion.

Before contraction, there must be a stimulus that is received by receptors.

The CNA sends a message to respond to the stimulus.

The message is transmitted, by motor neurons, as chemical signals -neurotransmitters- which are received by the muscle fibers.

When the muscle cells receive this information, a cascade of events occurs that produce the local contraction of these fibers.

The mitochondria is known as the “powerhouse of the cell." Why?*
Triss [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is - glucose is broken down into cellular energy (ATP).

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the double membrane cell organelle presents in all eukaryotic cells that produce the energy by the process of cellular respiration from the food to the cell to perform its day to day functions.

The cellular respiration is the process that involves the braking of the sugars into simple molecules and these catabolic reaction produce energy with CO2 and water as waste. The energy is stored in the form of ATP which is generated in the inner membrane of mitochondria. ATP is used by the cell to perform its function.

Thus, the prower house of the cell is mitochondria.

1. Enzyme is the molecule that serves to make reactions work. Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that catalyses chemical reactions in a cell by acting on substrates and convert them to products. Their rate of action increases with increase in substrate concentration, reaching optimum when all active sites of the enzyme are engaged.

2. Plastid are the tiny sacs in the cell that may contain starch. Plastid are major cell organelles found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are site for the manufacture and storage of important  chemical compounds used by the cell. They often contain pigments used in photosynthesis, and the types of pigments present can change or determine cells color.

3. Lysosome are packets within the cell that contain digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are one of many organelles found in animal cells. they are tiny like sacs filled with enzymes that enables the cell to process nutrients. They contain digestive enzymes which helps in the digestion of worn out organelles, food particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

4. Mitochondrion is a structure within a cell that is responsible for production of energy. Energy in a cell is produced through a process of cellular respiration which involves use of nutrients with oxygen gas to yield energy inform of ATP, water and carbon dioxide. The process takes place in the mitochondrion where oxygen acts as proton acceptor in the electron transport chain coupled by production of energy.

5. An Organelle is a small structure that serves specialized functions. A cell is made up of various organelles that help it perform its functions. Each organelle is specialized to perform as specific function different from other organelles, for example ribosomes is an organelle involved in the manufacture of proteins.

6. Golgi apparatus are group of flattened sacs that package and export materials out of the cell. Golgi apparatus also called golgi complex or golgi body, is a membrane bound organelle in eukaryotic cells that is made up by a series of flattened, stacked pouches called cisternae. They are responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles.

7. Vesicles are tiny sacs connected to the Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Vesicles are small structures within a cell, or extracellular, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bi-layer. they form naturally during the process of secretion (exocytosis), uptake (endocytosis) and transport of materials within the cytoplasm.
