If muscles did not generate opposing forces, then the contraction and relaxation of muscles leading to movement will be limited.

Explanation:

Basically skeletal muscles work in pairs of agonist and antagonist muscles which work together but with opposing forces to contract and relax respectively. These opposing forces help to facilitate movement. Like in a bicep curl, the biceps work as agonist and triceps work as antagonist. The muscular strength is the force that acts against the opposing force of muscles. This strength is regardless of age, sex, weight or size of an individual.

Part A Why are Northeast Pacific populations of transient and resident killer whales thought to represent different ecotypes rat

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Transient killer whales prey on marine mammals, while resident killer whales prey on Chinook salmon

Explanation:

Remember, the term "ecotypes" is used to refer specifically to the observable differences found in the various kinds of whales, which includes their breeding populations, their language of communication, social structure, the type of food they eat, and their hunting behavior.

Thus, in the case of transient and resident killer whales in the Northeast Pacific, they are thought to represent different ecotypes rather than different species the Transient killer whales prey (feed) on marine mammals, while resident killer whales prey on Chinook salmon. Also, whales are generally thought to belong to the same species.
