Answer:
Cross bridge in a sarcomere of a fast fiber produce higher amounts of force as compared to a cross bridge in a sarcomere of a slow fiber
Explanation:
When a muscle contracts, a cross bridge is formed between actin and myosin. The sarcomere shortens when a muscle contracts by reforming cross bridge. In general a muscle fiber is of three types – a) slow, b) Fast and c) intermediate.
The sarcomere of fast fiber generates high force but for a short period of time. On the other hand, sarcomere of slow fiber generate lower amounts of force but this force lasts for a longer period of time. Due to this difference, fast fibers are the predominant fibers in the body
Answer:
True
Explanation:
One of the edocrine processes the kidney is involved in is called the RAAS (Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System) which is a signaling pathway involved in blood pressure control. It involves a number of hormones:
Angiotensinogen is produced by the liver in response tovarious inflammatory proteins
Renin is a protease produced by the kidneys in response tohypotension,
Angiotensin II increases blood pressure via a number of mechanisms:
Aldosterone acts to increase reabsorption of Na+ and water and increase elimination of K+ and H+ in the distal tubules of the kidneys for ion concentration maintenance
Answer:
Changes in the environment affect the food sources available for birds. For example, if a flood was to occur, there would be an abundance of fish to birds to eat. So birds with bigger beaks will be able to eat fish, to live and reproduce offspring with bigger beaks. While birds with smaller beaks will not be able to catch fish to eat, therefore decreasing the population of birds with smaller beaks.
Assuming maintains internal conditions means homeostasis, your body defecates and urinates any toxins from food or drink. this is because some food is harmful to your blood, heart, stomach, etc and can cause even more harm if they are not eliminated.
hope this helps!!! :)
