The energy that is released by the hydrolysis of atp by actin is used for:

Biology
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]3 years ago
5 0
The energy released is used for assembly of actin filament with myosin head. when myosin is attached to ATP its heads cannot bind to actin and therefore muscle will remain in relaxed form. However during muscle contraction an enzyme referred to as ATPase hydrolyses ATP to ADP and organic phosphate in the process releasing energy. The energy released changes the position of head of myosin which facilatate its binding with actin. Myosin moves towards m-line dragging actin along with it reducing the length of sarcomere leading to muscle contraction.

Suppose an abundance of hunting decreases the number of foxes in the ecosystem. Which of the following is the most likely impact
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Suppose an abundance of hunting decreases the number of foxes in the ecosystem. Which of the following is the most likely impact of this decline in the fox population?

Once there is abundance decrease in hunting number of foxes in the ecosystem, there would be an increase in the population of foxes as a result of increase in birth rate and no death rate recorded, once there is unavailability in either predator and prey relationship it would benefit one, just as in the case of foxes mentioned above, since there is decrease in hunting number, hence; increases in number of foxes population

1. Explain how dehydration synthesis and<br> hydrolysis are related.
PolarNik [594]

<em>Answer: In dehydration synthesis reactions, a water molecule is formed as a result of generating a covalent bond between two monomeric components in a larger polymer. In hydrolysis reactions, a water molecule is consumed as a result of breaking the covalent bond holding together two components of a polymer.</em>

0. Summarize the effects of progesterone and estrogen
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Estrogen and progesterone are both involved in preparing the endometrium for embryo implantation. Estrogen helps to ensure conception by increasing the amount of secretory glands in the uterus. Estrogen also increases blood supply to the endometrium.

Progesterone is crucial for embryo implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. Progesterone also enlarges secretory glands that produce carbohydrates, proteins and mucin that are required for embryo nourishment before implantation. Progesterone stabilizes endometrial muscles to prevent them from contracting during pregnancy.

Explanation:

  • Estrogen and progesterone are steroid hormones of the reproductive system. Estrogen helps in conception whereas progesterone maintains pregnancy.
  • Estrogen is secreted during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle that promotes the growth and maturation of follicles in the ovary.
  • Estrogen also induces oestrous behavior in females.
  • Secreted by the corpus luteum, progesterone is also a steroid hormone, responsible for implantation of the embryo in the uterus.

Genetics is the study of ________.
butalik [34]

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

Heredity refers to the passing of the traits from the parents to the offsprings or generation and also known as inheritance and Genetic variation is the difference in the genetic material in population which leads to the formation of a variety of traits.

Since the variation in traits is determined by factors (Gregor Mendel) later called "genes" which are passed on to the offsprings, therefore, the branch of biology which studies the pattern of inheritance and variation is known as "Genetics". Gregor Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
