Plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber - _________Extension of the sarcolemma that dives into the muscle fiber and surrounds
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

1. Sarcolemma

2. T-Tubule

3. Sarcoplasmic reticulum

4. Terminal Cisternae

5. Myofibrils

6. Myofilament

7.Thick filament

8. Thin filament

Explanation:

These are all parts of the skeletal muscle and they are all involved in the contraction of your muslces.

The sacrolemma is also known as the myolemma. It is a specialized plasma membrane of the skeletal muscle cell. It is an excitable membrane that shares similarities to the cell membrane of a neuron cell.

The T-tubule extends from the sarcolemma to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). This is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of the muscle cell. When the sarcolemma gets excited, it triggers the SR to release the calcium ions stored in it. The release of Calcium ions triggers the contraction of myofilaments.

There are two types of myofilaments, the thick myofilament and the thin myofilament. These myofilaments contain contractile proteins, actin and myosin. Thick myofilaments contain myosin where one thick myofilament contains 300 myosin molecules. Thin myofilaments contain contractile and regulatory proteins. These myofilamens make up myofibrils.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

B) be able to be disproven

Explanation:

Scientific investigations involve the use of scientific methods, which is a principled guideline for scientific observations. One of the steps of the scientific method includes formulating an hypothesis, which is a predictive statement about the possible solution to an observed problem. This hypothesis is FALSIFIABLE i.e it must via experimentation/testing be proven to be false.

This qualifies a happening or phenomena as SCIENTIFIC. It must be able to be repeatedly tested for the purpose of disproven or falsifying the hypothetical claim.
