<h2>Skeletal & Cardiac Muscle</h2>
Explanation:
- A skeletal muscle is a contractile organ that is directly or indirectly attached to bone. Skeletal muscles move the body. Skeletal muscle contractions pull on tendons, which are attached to bones. If contraction of the muscle causes the muscle to shorten, the bone and, thus, the body part will move. For example, the biceps brachii is attached to the shoulder and the forearm bones
- Contraction and, thus, shortening, of the biceps brachii pulls on the tendons attached to the bones. Skeletal muscle contraction, however, doesn't always result in the movement of a body part
- Contraction of smooth muscles controlled by autonomic nervous system and contraction can be initiated by electrical or chemical signals. Actin is plentiful, lacks troponin
- Skeletal muscle is controlled by somatic motor division and always begins with an action potential
<u>Answer</u>: Bacteria through the nucleoid (number 5).
<u>Explanation</u>:
Both paramecium and bacteria are single celled organisms. However, they differ by the fact that the first one is an eukaryote and the second one a prokaryote.
Furthermore, they differ in their capacity to mutate and adapt to environmental changes. Bacteria have a simple internal structure that lacks any organelles and are very adept at adapting to environmental changes. Besides their capacity for high mutation rates, they are also capable of picking up genetic information from their environment through a process called <em>transformation</em>.
Through transofrmation, environmental DNA enter the living bacteria through its cell membrane. Double stranded DNA will have one strand dissolved through hydrolysis, whereas the second strand may recombine with the bacterial <em>chromosome (nucleoid)</em>. Thus, this new genetic material will become incorporated into the bacterium's genome.
There are many different types of non-chlorophyll<span> accessory pigments, but some of the most common are </span>carotenoids<span>, phycocyanins, and </span>phycoerythrins.Carotenoids<span> (caroten meaning 'carrot') are a group of some 600-700 different types of accessory pigments that reflect </span>red<span>, orange, and yellow wavelengths.</span>
