Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Z-line is a structure formed between adjacent sarcomeres and is found at each end of the sarcomere in striated muscle and defines the lateral boundaries of the sarcomere, its function is to give anchorage to titin and to the outer ends of the thin filaments.  Due to this anchoring function, the Z-lines are responsible for force of transmission and during contraction, as the sarcomere shortens, the distance between Z lines lessens

Properties of Water and COL CSA
Dennis_Churaev [7]

If water had weak surface tension, insects would not be able to land on or walk on water.

Surface tension is the force acting on the surface of water that makes it to behave like a stretched elastic skin.

Surface tension owes to the intermolecular attraction between water molecules. The molecules at the surface of water are drawn inwards by other molecules causing the molecules at the surface to contract. This surface tension enables insects to land on or walk on water.

So, without surface tension of water, insects would not be able to land on or walk on water.
