You take a human smooth muscle cell and block the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. What effect does that have

on contraction of that smooth muscle cell, and why?
A. Contraction is completely blocked because calcium binding to troponin is required for contraction.

B. Contraction still occurs because Ca2+ can enter the cell directly through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and bind to troponin.

C. Contraction is completely blocked because calcium binding to calmodulin is required for contraction.

D. Contraction still occurs because contraction in smooth muscle is completely independent of Ca2+ levels.

E. Contraction still occurs because Ca2+ can enter the cell directly through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and bind to calmodulin.
E. Contraction still occurs because Ca2+ can enter the cell directly through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and bind to calmodulin.

Answer:

The correct option is E) Contraction still occurs because Ca2+ can enter the cell directly through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and bind to calmodulin.

Usually, the calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of a cell during a muscle contraction, but if those are blocked, the contractions is an cell can still arise through the calcium ions which are present in the cell membrane of a cell.

Svetllana [295]

Mrs. Lopez has the most difficulty initiating digestion of proteins after her stomach is removed. The correct option is C.

Explanation:

When the stomach is removed due to complications such as in cancers the food eaten directly goes to intestine. Without stomach Mrs Lopez will have difficulty in starting the digestion of protein.

The digestion of protein takes place and starts in the stomach and duodenum of intestine. There are enzymes as pepsin, trypsin and chyomtrypsin secreted  by stomach and pancreas. Pepsin breaks the peptide bonds of protein.

The HCl and the enzymes in stomach initiates the process of digestion of protein. The amino acids formed are ardent in various metabolic processes and repair.

lipids and carbohydrate digestion starts from the mouth only as salivary amylase and lipase initiates the process.

One of your fellow systematists has asked you to help her group organisms into a valid phylogenetic tree. At present, she has gr
kipiarov [429]

Answer and explanation:

Monophyletic species are the species whose lineage belongs to the common recent phylogenetic ancestor. As mentioned in the question, the girl has 3 species namely G, H, and K. Because there is no other criteria given, we assume that the closeness of alphabets would reflect the closeness of species. Thus, G and H are closer relative than K. Therefore, if she adds <u>I, and J species</u> in the list, all of them will be closer relatives and we can say that they are monophyletic now.
