Answer: False

Explanation: as the muscles shortens due to contraction, the actin filaments from opposite ends of the sarcomere approach each other. So the two Z bands come closer with reduction in length of the sarcomere

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

Pancreatic cells, which secrete a large amount of digestive enzymes, are labeled with radioactive leucine and then chased for se
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Exterior of the cell

Explanation:

Pancreas is a gland found behind the stomach and it secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum.

Digestive enzymes are proteins hence leucine will form part of the enzymes.

Digestion of food takes approximately three hours. Therefore, if labelled Leucine  is chased down with non radioactive leucine.

Diseases carried from person to person through other hosts, such as animals or insects, are known as __________ diseases.
Basile [38]

The right option is D. vector-borne

Diseases carried from person to person through other hosts, such as animals or insects, are known as vector- borne diseases.

Vector-borne diseases are infectious diseases transmitted between humans or from animals to humans through the bite of infected hosts such as animals or insects. Most of these hosts are arthropod vectors which are bloodsucking insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, sandflies, and blackflies. Examples of vector-borne diseases include West Nile fever which is transmitted through the bite of an infected Culex mosquito, Leishmaniasis which is transmitted through the bite of an infected female sandfly and Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) which is transmitted by ticks.
