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.

Explain the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics in terms of food chain, energy flow, pyramid of number and pyramid of energy
Westkost [7]

Answer:

First law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy states that energy is not created and not destroyed but only can be stored.

Thermodynamics second law states that total entropy of a system increases from lower to higher system and some of the energy is always wasted during the work done.

In the food chain plants are the producers which accept light energy and stored in the form of chemical energy and energy flow to the herbivores and higher trophic levels in the chemical form only and no new energy is created in between the chain (Fisrt law of thermodynamics). Heat is generated during respiration by plants and animals (wasted energy) and entropy also increases with the increase in level of the pyramid of energy (Second law of thermodynamics).
