Answer:

The correct answer is Z disc

Explanation:

The Z disk (or Z line) defines the boundaries of a muscle sarcomere. Two adjacent Z disks along the myofibril mark the boundaries of a single sarcomere. The Z disks are the attachment sites for the thin filaments. Therefore, from each Z disk, thin filaments extend to two neighboring sarcomeres.

They run through the core of each thick filament and anchor it to the Z-line, the end point of a sarcomere. Titin also stabilizes the thick filament, while centering it between the thin filaments.

Answer:

Driving a car, smoking, burning of woods for heating purpose and cooking food.

Explanation:

Driving a car, smoking, burning of woods for heating purpose and cooking food are the activities that are performed in our home daily. These activities greatly affected the biogeochemical and hydrologic cycles by increasing the concentration of carbondioxide gas in the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels in the car engine and burning of woods releases carbondioxide gas that causes air pollution. The use of electric cars and electric heater can decrease the impact on these biogeochemical and hydrologic cycles.
