Answer:

B. The myosin and actin would not separate, and the sarcomere would remain contracted

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) acts both in the binding of myosin to actin, which occurs during muscle contraction, and also in its separation, which occurs during muscle relaxation.

When ATP is lacking, myosin remains attached to actin, causing muscle stiffness. This is what happens after death, producing a state of cadaverous rigidity (also called "rigor mortis").

An intense and uninterrupted stimulation causes the muscle to reach the maximum degree of contraction. Then, the muscle remains in contraction, this state is called <u>tetany</u>.

A very prolonged state of tetany causes muscle fatigue,  in which, due to ATP deficiency, can cause a loss of muscle contraction capacity, after its relaxation.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

A) AUG GAG GGU

B) N-MET-GLU-GLY-HIS

C) 10 amino acids

D) The stop codon here is UAA, instead of UAG.  If a tryptophane residue is added where the stop codon is, the GEN polypeptide would be longer

Explanation:

First we must obtain the the complementary chain or mRNA

A) AUG start codon is complementary to DNA TAC triplet, and GAG is complementary to CTC, and GGU to CCA (running from left to right towards 5'DNA direction (AAGCGGATACCTCCCAGTAGATGCTCCGGGGCTAGTGATTTCGAAC-5)

B) TAC corresponds to Methionine, GAG to Glutamate, GGU to Glycine, and CAU to Histidine

C) UAA is the stop codon, that is complementary where the DNA triplet is ATT.  From AUG to UAA, we can have 10 amino acids transcribed

D) If a trp is included where the stop codon is UAA, then the mRNA would be longer with a consequent traduction of a longer GEN polypeptide

If we say something is beneficial, it must be positive and really mean to give advantage to one thing or another. Wave energy is a renewable energy since it can be used repeatedly over time without any problem on supply. Hence the greatest benefit it can give would be:

 

decreased use of nonrenewable resources
