Which structure has the active sites where the heads of the thick filaments will bind?

1 answer:

7 0

THE ACTIN has the active site to which the heads of the thick filament will bind.
The muscle is made up of two major protein fibers, which are the actin and the myosin. Muscle contractions occur when myosin and actin slide over each other in a series of repetitive events. The protein actin has a thin structure and is abundant in eukaryotic cells while myosin is a thick filament.

In regions of the cardiovascular system where there is steady laminar blood flow, the shear stress on cells lining the walls of

Lynna [10]

Answer:

$250$ N/m2

Explanation:

Shear stress on cells lining the walls of the blood vessels is equal to $20$ 20 dyne/cm2

In terms of Newton/square meter, shear stress is equal to

$20*\frac{dyne}{cm^2} (\frac{10^{-5}N}{1 dyne} )*(\frac{1 cm^2}{10^{-4}*m^2} )\\= 2.0$ N/m2

Shear modulus is equal to shear stress divided by shear strain

Thus, shear modulus is equal to

$= \frac{2.0}{0.008} \\= 250$ N/m2

One part of a freely swinging magnet always points

saul85 [17]

The best answer is D

A freely suspended magnet will always point in the North - South direction in the absence of any other magnet. This suggests that the earth itself behaves as a magnet which causes a freely suspended magnet (or magnetic needle ) to point always in a particular direction namely North and South.

The south pole of the earth's magnet is in the geographic north because it attracts the north pole of the suspended magnet and vice versa. However it is important to note that the position of earth's magnetic poles are not well defined because they are spread over an area.
