During the _______ phase, the muscle is returning to resting length.
tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Eccentric phase.

When talking about movement, we are talking about the activation of muscle fibers in order for this process to happen. In order for this to happen, motor neurons must activate the phases of muscle excitation, contraction and relaxation, so that the sarcomeres, and thus the fibers, can generate movement.

In essence, there are three stages, or phases, to complete muscle movement:   the concentric phase, which is when the muscle fibers are excited and begin the process of contraction. This means the muscle fibers will contract and generate movement, generating a shortening. Then we have the isometric stage, a moment in which there is no longer any more shortening of the muscle fibers, so basically, the movement is held and there is no further contraction, but neither is there relaxation of the muscle fibers. Finally, we have the eccentric phase. This phase is characterized precisely because it is the moment when the muscles begin to return to their resting position.

A scientist modified the structure of a promoter region of a gene. What could be its effect on transcription and translation?

RNA polymerase can't bind on the promoter region, so no transcription takes place, consequently, no protein translation.

Saltwater fish constantly drink water but still excrete concentrated urine to compensate for the water loss. They also have gill
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The above paragraphs describes that how salt- and fresh-water fish regulates their osmoregulation. Hence, the correct answer would be c. have adapted to deal with osmosis.

Osmosis is the process by which solvent's molecule move from region of low concentration (hypo-tonic) to the region of high concentration (hyper-tonic) through a semi-permeable membrane.

In sea-water fishes, the body fluids are hypo-tonic to the surrounding water and thus water is kept moving out of their gills. In order to prevent the excess water loss they need to drink water constantly and excrete concentrated urine.

In contrast, fresh-water fishes body fluids are hyper-tonic to surrounding water and hence, water keeps entering in their body through gills. So, in order to prevent excess dilution they absorb salt from surrounding with the help of gills and also their bodies reabsorb salt from urine.
