Muscle is composed of small units known as myofibril which itself composed of cylindrical bundles of thread like filaments; thick filament and thin filament known as myosin and actin respectively.

These filaments make up a myofibril which is organized into a chain of contractile units called sarcomeres. . There are two more proteins known as titin and nebulin which also contribute to the structure of sarcomere.

The function of the muscle is to contract and these filaments play a major role in it

In the human function, which system functions is primarily to defend the body against diseases
g100num [7]
The answer to this is the Immune System.

The Immune system is made up of a network of cells and tissues and organs that work together to protect the body. The white blood cells (also known as Leukocytes) is part of the immune system, they help destroy disease causing organisms or substances.
That is why when you fall ill and like a few days later you are all better, that is because of the immune system.
Sometimes when somebody has a weak immune system they fall ill more easily and could die because the bacteria that makes you sick isn't being destroyed by the immune system. Sometimes the person has to go to the hospital for treatment and some medications that can help support their immune system.

Hope this helped :)
Have a great day

Which of the following options best depicts the flow of information when a gene directs the synthesis
valentina_108 [34]

The flow of <u>DNA → mRNA → protein </u>depicts the flow of information when a gene directs the synthesis of a cellular component.

Explanation:

Genetic information needs to flow in a specific pattern in order a gene to transform into a component like protein. This transformation takes place through the processes of transcription inside the nucleus and translation in the ribosomes. So the pathway: DNA → mRNA → protein will be correct flow of information for protein synthesis from DNA code. The mRNA or the messenger RNA encodes the genetic information or the chemical blueprint of the particular protein to be synthesized. This flow represents the central dogma of genetic information pathway or flow, which is; DNA encodes the RNA and the RNA encodes the Protein

Please help fill in blanks!!!!!!!! on this homework sheet please i need much help as possible
sleet_krkn [62]

1. 0 because they are nonpolar,  more concentration of molecules because of a proceess called simple diffusion,

2.  o because it is a form of passive energy, low concentration,

3. molecules moving, equilibrium, higher, lower

These processes are all Passive and therefore none require energy although some are different the first is the molecules that can just pass through and yea, then thefacilitated diffusion is through moleules moving because of concentration differences, then Osmosis is when molecules because of water differences.
