Describe what would happen in the following experiment: A 2.5-g weight is attached to the end of the isolated wholeskeletal musc

le used in these experiments. Simultaneously, the muscle is maximally stimulated by 8.5 volts and the platformsupporting the weight is removed. Will the muscle generate force? Will the muscle change length? What is the name for thistype of contraction?

Answer:

The answers have been explained below in separate paragraphs -

Explanation:

Yes, after stimulation, the muscle will generate force but the reaction of the muscle will not be visible because the force generated will be of low intensity and passive in nature and the load pulling the muscle downward will not allow it to move under the influence of this force.

After removing the platform the muscle will change length if the weight is still connected to the muscle. The connected weight will pull the muscle downward and as a result the length of the muscle will be increased. This increase in length will not be due to muscle contraction, it will only be due to the force pulling downward.

This type of contraction is termed as isometric contraction in which even though the muscle is activated but it is not allowed to contract or relax due to the presence of an external force.

Meselson and Stahl were trying to determine if DNA replication was semiconservative, conservative, or dispersive by labeling E.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

All of the following options are correct except option C. in the Meselson Stahl experiment, after the first round of replication, the DNA molecules made consisted mainly of one parental strand and one new strand each which is the DNA molecules of intermediate density (H-L). Then future replications will produce more of the low density L-L density. This form of replication is thus termed to be the semi conservative form of replication

How do these tape worms defend themselves from the immune system of their host
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Scientists discovered mechanisms that protect tapeworms from being digested by their host. ... They also needed a mechanism to protect themselves from intestinal substances, specifically from digestive enzymes. One of such enzymes called trypsin breaks down proteins.

Explanation:

For example:Parasites can hide away from the immune system by invading immune-privileged tissue such as the central nervous system or the eye (Bhopale 2003). Also some parasitoids place their eggs inside tissue such as the fat body that is not well patrolled by the host's immune system

What rule or reasoning did you use to decide how to label the cut end of the short piece of magnet?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

<em>You can think of a magnet as a bundle of tiny magnets, called magnetic domains, that are jammed together. Each one reinforces the magnetic fields of the others. Each one has a tiny north and south pole. If you cut one in half, the newly cut faces will <u>become the new north or south poles of the smaller pieces.</u></em>
