Describe the physiological processes occurring in the muscle fibers that account for the gradual onset of muscle fatigue

1 answer:

7 0

The muscle fibres use several substrates in order to perform contractions. ATP is one of them. It binds to the myosin head and causes contraction. Creatine phosphate is another substrate that works in the "background" storing energy to convert ADP into ATP quickly as ATP is being used. Glycogen is another of the muscle fibres' substrates. It's used to produce energy quickly when creatine phosphate runs out of phosphates to use on ADP. The use of glycogen leads to the deposition of lactic acid on the muscles.

When these substrates run low there is muscle fatigue (or also called, in this case, metabolic fatigue) - there's no energy. Another cause may be from the deposition of lactic acid that also leads to such fatigue.

Which label belongs in the area marked Y?

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Among Sponges and Cnidarians, the difference among given facts is in "Have a network of nerve cells".

Explanation:

Both Sponges and Cnidarians have pores, they reproduce by buddings, and they live in freshwater. The major difference in both organisms is that: cnidarians have very simple nervous system made of sensory nerves that are arranged in the form of neural network. On the other hand, sponges are simple multicellular organisms without any neural network at all. In fact, they are the only multicellular organisms (animals) without a nervous system.

13. What is the procedure to match a spent bullet<br> to the firearm that shot it?

Delvig [45]

The range of evidence in firearms-related cases can be as small as a piece of a bullet fragment which has rifling marks or as large as hundreds of bullets and cartridge cases and numerous firearms. Even from small samples, information can be developed to indicate the type of firearm used and possibly identify the actual firearm that was used.

Other firearms evidence that could be found at a shooting scene includes shotshell wads and shot pellets; these can indicate the gauge of the shotgun. Wads and pellets can be gathered and preserved in the same manner as bullets and cartridge cases.

By examining wadding materials, the examiner may be able to determine

The gauge of the shotgun
The manufacturer or marketer
A range of possible shot sizes based on impressions in the shotshell wad
individual characteristics (in some cases)

How are the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The equation of the photosynthesis becomes reverse in the cellular respiration. In both process the reactants and products are altered.

Photosynthesis is the light harvesting process. Here the plants use water, carbon dioxide, light as raw material to produce glucose, energy and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplast of the leaves. In this reaction the products are oxygen and glucose.

In cellular respiration, the byproduct of photosynthesis i.e. glucose is oxidised to release energy and carbon dioxide, along with the ATP molecules. This reaction is the reverse reaction of the photosynthesis.

In cellular respiration the product of the photosynthesis becomes becomes reactant.

The cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and involves many steps to release energy. The various cellular respirations are glycolysis, kreb's cycle, electron transport chains, etc.
