Identify the structures of skeletal muscle.

Though the skeletal muscle cells are of different sizes and shapes, the main components of a skeletal muscle cell remain the same. The skeletal muscle is enveloped by a layer of connective tissue called epimysium, it protects the muscles from friction against the bones and other muscles.

The skeletal muscles are also covered by a fibrous connective tissue called endomysium that insulates each muscle fiber. Underneath the endomysium is the sarcolemma that is the cell membrane of the fibers and underneath that is the sarcoplasm that is the cytoplasm of the cell.

Each muscle fiber also comprises cylindrical organelles called myofibrils. Each muscle fiber comprises hundreds to thousands of myofibrils. The myofibrils are the bundles of myosin and actin proteins that go through the length of the muscle fiber and plays an essential role in the contraction of muscles.

The myofibrils are surrounded by a network of tubules and channels known as the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is stored with calcium and is essential for the contraction of muscles. Each myofibril can be further dissociated into functional repeating segments known as sarcomeres.

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Inactivation of an enzyme that degrades M-Cyclin.

M-phase cyclins form M-CDK complexes and drive the cell's entry into mitosis from G2 phase as non-degradation of M-Cyclin resulting from inactivated enzyme can only result in constitutive entry of the cell in to M phase instead cell cycle being arrested at G2 phase,

B. Inactivation of the Wee-1 kinase.

Wee1 is a nuclear kinase that plays a key role in regulating cell cycle progression. Wee1 inhibits the entry of the cell into M phase by inhibiting Cdk1. Wee1 phosphorylates Cdk1 there inhibiting the kinase activity of Cdk1 which is essential for progression from G2 to M phase. As such any mutation of wee1, and the resulting loss of activity will result in premature entry of cells into M phase instead of getting arrested at the G2 phase resulting in smaller yeast cell.

C. Inactivation of the Cdc25 phosphatase

CDC25 phosphatases removes inhibitory phosphate residues from cyclin dependent kinases resulting in the activation of CDKs which causes the cells in G2 phase to entry to M phase. Mutation in CDC25 phosphates removes the ability of CDC25 to remove phosphate residues from CDKs thus preventing the entry into M-phase.

Therefore, mutant phenotype of cell cycle arrest prior to M phase can only result form mutation in

Pleas help please help HELP <br><br> How can one system be consider a component of another system?

Tanya [424]

Answer: The body is a system filled with smaller systems. Each used to help out the other and benefit the body as a whole. For example, the respiratory system takes in oxygen, the heart then takes the oxygen in the blood and pumps it throughout the entire body. Then veins carry that blood to muscles and organs. Each unique system has a job to do, when one malfunctions the whole system can fail.
