Answer:

Isometric contraction

Explanation:

The length of the muscle is changed during contraction only when the muscle tension during contraction can outstand the resistance exerted by the object to be lifted.

During isometric contractions, the muscle tension is not sufficient to exceed the resistance of the object. Hence, there is no change in the length of the muscle. The isometric contraction does not bring about any body movements.

Answer:

A photosynthetic cell within a plant leaf produces chemical energy, stored within glucose molecules.

Explanation:

The energy captured from sunlight by Photosystems in chlorophyll is used to split a water molecule and reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. This energy from sunlight is therefore stored in the chemical bonds of the glucose molecules. It is thereafter harnessed during cellular respiration when the chemical bonds of glucose are broken and the energy transferred to make ATP molecules.

Using the attached figure, what statement is true? Genetics382FlowerTreeExercise06.pdf 92 KB Genetics382FlowerTreeExercise06.pdf

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Flowers on Peak 1 and flowers on Peak 4 are genetically identical".

Explanation:

Phylogenetic trees are graphical representations of the relationships among species, at which the closer two organisms are, the closer they are put together in the tree. Modern phylogenetic trees are constructed based on the anaylsis of genetic material, usually mitochondrial DNA. In this case, flowers with different phenotype and genotype were classified in a phylogenetic tree. Since flowers on peak 1 and flowers on peak 4 are grouped together it is safe to assume that the two organisms are genetically identical. I attached the missing figure.
