In what ways are autorhythmic fibers similar to and different from contractile fibers?

1 answer:

5 0

I think Autorhythmic fibers are fibers that are self excitable or on their own for example some cardiac muscle. They repeatedly generate action potentials that trigger heart contractions.They continue to stimulate a heart to beat even when it is removed from the body. In comparison to contractile fibers, autorhythmic fibers are self excitable and do not require nervous system stimulation to trigger contractions. Contractile fibers have stable resting membrane potentials of -90mV, when a contractile fibers reaches threshold by action potential, the voltage gated fast sodium ions channels will open.

The bases of RNA are the same as those of DNA except that RNA has _______.

Pavlova-9 [17]

RNA has Uracil instead of Thymine. All the other three bases also occurs in RNA, adenine, guanine and cytosine. Therefore a ATA DNA codon will be transcript to UAU by RNA. Both Thymine and Uracil have the same role in however have minor chemical differences.

Why doesnt your dna look like the double helix model that Watson & Crick discovered?

LenKa [72]

Everyone’s DNA are different because they are different people. One part of DNA are your genes. The genes are what you look like, hair color, eye color, everything that you can get from your parents. Even if you have a twin, it’s not necessary that you two would have the same genes. For example, one could have green eyes and the other could have brown eyes.
 Good luck and hope I helped. :)

The diagram below represents a flower, the reproductive structure of some plants. Most

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The stigma, a female structure which collects pollen and passes it to the ovary

Explanation:

The structure represented by the letter A in the diagram is the stigma.

The stigma of a flower represents part of the female reproductive structure. The surface of a mature stigma is sticky and as such, it is able to attract pollen grains from the anther. A pollen that lands on the stigma germinates and its pollen tube grows through the style of the stigma down to the ovule where one of the sperm cells of the pollen fertilizes the egg cell of the ovule to form a diploid zygote and the other sperm cell fuses with the polar nuclei of the ovary to form a triploid cell that eventually becomes the endosperm.

The sepal and the petal are labeled as D and C in the diagram respectively while the stamen is made up of B and H.

Most fertilizers contain ammonia. Ammonia (NH3) forms when hydrogen reacts with nitrogen. Which balanced equation represents amm

Lana71 [14]

The balanced equation for ammonia (NH3) is 3H2 + N2 ď 2NH3. This equation starts from H2 + N2 ď NH3. We have 1 N and 3 H on the right side (the product side) of the equation, so we multiply each by 2 to get 2 N and 6 H. We do this so that we donâ€™t have an odd number of H atoms. We then balance the left side (the reactant side) of the equation with the right side, N is already balanced, but we have to multiply H by 3 to get 6 H atoms (to match the right side of the equation.
