Explanation:

Ozone os a Trioxygen, O3 whuch is present in very low concentrations throughout with its highest concentration high in the ozone layer of the stratosphere, which absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation and has a function as a strong oxidant.

Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, O2 which is 21 % abundant in air. It has a vast array of functios such as in respiration in humans, also in oxidation etc.

Answer: Ozone in the stratosphere is made up of three (3) oxygen atoms while Oxygen we breathe consists of two (2) atoms

Explanation: Oxygen in the atmosphere is a diatomic molecule, this means it is made up of two oxygen atoms. Ozone is a blue gas with a pungent odor, it is a triatomic molecule, this means it is made up of molecules containing three oxygen atoms. Ozone protects living organisms by preventing ultraviolet rays from reaching the Earth's surface.

Which of the following is the smaller amount?
viva [34]

Answer:

A) the concentration of calcium ions in the sarcoplasm of a resting muscle

Explanation:

Sarcoplasmic reticulum is a system of the membranous sac that is present around each myofibril and is filled with calcium ions. When muscles are in the resting stage, calcium ions are stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

As the muscle action potential triggers change in voltage-gated calcium ion channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the channels are opened to release the calcium ions in the sarcoplasm. Increased calcium ion levels in sarcoplasm make the muscle fibers to contract.

Removal of acetylcholine from the synaptic cleft ends the production of muscle action potential and calcium ions are moved back from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Hence, lower levels of calcium ions are maintained in sarcoplasm when the muscles are in the resting stage.
