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

Because the brain is so rich in nerve cells, or neurons, it is the most energy demanding organ, using one half of all the sugar energy in the body. Brain functions such as memory, thinking and learning are closely linked to glucose levels and how efficiently the brain uses this fuel source.

Maslowich

Answer:

For a change in the environment that surrounds them.

Explanation:

Frogs and toads are amphibians that have the ability to live in both environments, that is why their respiratory system is highly adapted to extreme situations such as sudden climate changes, among others.

This modification of the environment many species would not tolerate because generally species always develop, live and reproduce in a single environment, such as humans, which is only in the terrestrial environment.

It is very difficult for frogs not to be able to adapt or survive climate change since they have the ability to adapt their respiratory system to two totally different media such as water and air.
