(1) The varying number of muscle fibers that contract
<span>In most muscles, the number of muscle fibers in different motor units ranges from a few to hundreds. The nervous system can thus regulate the strength of contraction in a muscle by determining how many motor units are activated at a given instant and by selecting large or small motor unties to activate. </span>
some muscles are almost always partially contracted. In such muscles, the nervous system my alternate activation among the motor units, reducing the length of time any one set of fibers is contracted. Prolonged contraction can result in muscle fatigue due to the depletion of ATP and dissipation of ion gradients required for normal electrical signals.ing.
<span>(2) varying the rate at which muscle fibers are stimulated </span>
<span>single action potential produces a twitch lasting about 100 msec or less. If a second action potential arrives before the muscle fiber has completely relaxed, the two twitches add together, resulting in greater tension. Further summation occurs as the rate of stimulation increases. When the rate is so high that the muscle fiber cannot relax at all between stimuli, the twitches fuse into one smooth, sustained contraction called tetanus.</span>

Hi there!

The lower the area, the warner it is, because of the change in air pressure. Less air and less air pressure results in colder temperatures even though higher places may be closer to the sun.

Hope this helps!

Concentration cell based on the Ni2 -Ni cell reaction.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Explanation:

The missing diagram contained in this question is first attached in the image below.

The objective of this question is to determine how ions migrate when the cells are operating by assuming the solutions are composed of Ni(NO3)2.

From the information provided:

In this instance, the ions tend to move first from cathode to anode in terms of raising the concentration of Ni(2+) at the anode, resulting in the development of a dead cell. The initial concentration of [Ni(2+)] in the anode solution is 1.00 × 10⁻³ M, which gradually increases to 0.5 M, during which both the cathode and the anode possess the same concentration at the same point.

This causes Q(equilibrium constant) to equal  1 as well as log(Q) to equal 0, indicating that the cell is dead.

As a result, the cell will cease to operate, and nothing will migrate from the left to the right side.
