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.

What is the relationship between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

Proteins that were sinthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum are able to leave this organelle inside vesicles that are formed through evagination of the reticulum membrane. These vesicles can merge with the golgi membrane, spreading its contents inside the golgi apparatus. This process can be repeated through all of Golgi's cisternaes, and when the last cisternae is reached, these vesicles can be directed towards the plasma membrane. Once the vesicles and the plasma membrane are merged, all the molecules that were contained inside the vesicle are exported from the cell into the extracellular space.

What is the correct sequence of steps in the confirmation process?
dezoksy [38]
The process of confirmation include the following sequence;
1. President nominates
2. Senate committee examines
3. Senate debates
4. Floor vote is taken.
The confirmation process begins when the President selects a nominee for a vacant judgeship. The president then refers the nominee to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on the nominee and then the judiciary votes on whether to report the nominee to the full Senate. The full Senate has the opportunity to debate the nomination and if any senator objects to unanimous consent, then a cloture motion must be filed in order to end debate and move to a vote. Once the senate holds a confirmation vote, with a majority voting to confirm, the nominee becomes a federal judge.
