Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

The sarcomere is the smallest contractile unit of muscle. It extends from one Z disc to the next and therefore, is the region between two consecutive Z discs. It contains an A band flanked by half an I band at each end. Contraction of a muscle fiber occurs as the sarcomeres within the myofibrils shorten. During the shortening of the sarcomere, the thin actin filaments slide past the thick myosin filaments and approach one another. The resultant shortening of the I band and complete disappearance of H zone cause contraction of muscle fiber.

A population of beetles are kept in a controlled ecosystem. No beetles are

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

According to what is observed in point A of the graph, referring to the population of beetles, there is no competition for resources.

Explanation:

The graph shows that a controlled population of beetles, where other individuals do not enter or leave, experiences <u>progressive growth over time</u>. This is because the population has sufficient resources to guarantee their development, the birth rate exceeds that of mortality and there is no competition for these resources.

The adequate amount of resources allows that, at point A, the carrying capacity has not been reached, a consequence of no competition among members of the same species, which ensures that the net population growth rate is maintained or even increase.

Passive movement of water and solutes from the plasma to the capsular space of kidney corpuscles is a process known as _________

wel

The answer is ultrafiltration. This is helped by the hydrostatic pressure and blood pressure in afferent renal arteriole. Molecules such as water, glucose, urea, sodium chloride, amino acids pass through the semipermeable membrane of the dense capillary network of the glomerulus to form glomerular filtrate. Some of these molecules are later reabsorbed in the renal tubules.
