The cardiac muscle has intercalated disk that allows rapid transmission of the impulse. This will allow the cardiac muscle to have a coordinated way. The heart muscle has pacemaker that will spread the signal in regular time. The transmission of impulse is also controlled by a few checkpoint like the bundle of his to make the signal to the Purkinje fiber of left and right ventricle at the same time.

Which organism in the marine ecosystem is the most numerous: producers, primary consumers, or secondary consumers? Why?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Secondary Consumers

Explanation:

Because secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers for energy. Primary consumers are always herbivores, or organisms that only eat autotrophic plants. However, secondary consumers can either be carnivores or omnivores. Carnivores only eat other animals, and omnivores eat both plant and animal matter.

What happens during cellular respiration?
mylen [45]

Answer:

Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules or nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy because weak high-energy bonds, in particular in molecular oxygen, are replaced by stronger bonds in the products. Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, some of which are redox reactions. Although cellular respiration is technically a combustion reaction, it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell because of the slow, controlled release of energy from the series of reactions.
