Answer:

  1. The sarcomere is relaxed.
  2. Calcium ions are released by a nerve cell.
  3. Actin and myosin are activated.
  4. The sarcomere shortens.
  5. Actin and myosin overlap completely.

Explanation:

For muscle contraction to occur it is necessary that the brain first sends signals to motor neurons that will quickly establish contact with muscle fibers.

At that time, the axons close to the muscle fibers will lose the myelin sheath, as a result of which, the axons will dilate forming a kind of plaque called the motor plaque. The main function of this motor plate is to allow the motor nerves to connect to the muscles.

Simultaneously, the nervous impulse will reach the aconic terminations of the motor nerves. This will cause the release of acetylcholine over the muscle fibers causing an action potential to occur. After that, the actin and misin filaments contract, as a result the sarcomere becomes decreased and as it decreases it causes muscle contraction.

In summary, muscle contraction happens as follows:

  1. The sarcomere is relaxed.
  2. Calcium ions are released by a nerve cell.
  3. Actin and myosin are activated.
  4. The sarcomere shortens.
  5. Actin and myosin overlap completely.

Species can vary in several ways. Which of the following is one of Darwin's ideas that was accepted by most scientists of his ti
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Due to the large number of fossils being discovered at that time Darwin proposed that species change over long periods of time.

Explanation:

The theory of Darwin was that the species change in accordance to their environment, thus they develop advantageous traits so that they can be more competitive.

DNA is replicated in the nucleus of eukaryotes, but in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. Why is this?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

In prokaryotes (organisms without a nuclear membrane), DNA undergoes replication and transcription and RNA undergoes translation in an undivided compartment. All three processes can occur simultaneously.

   In eukaryotes (organisms with a nuclear membrane), DNA undergoes replication and transcription in the nucleus, and proteins are made in the cytoplasm. RNA must therefore travel across the nuclear membrane before it undergoes translation. This means that  transcription and translation are physically separated. The primary transcript, heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), undergoes extensive post-transcriptional processing to make a messenger RNA (mRNA)molecule that can pass through the nuclear membrane.

if a single species of squirrel evolved over time into 2 species, each on opposite side of the grand canyon, what is this change
