Answer:

the I bands to appear smaller

Explanation:

I band is the lighter and a less dense area of the sarcomere. It contains no thick filaments. A Z disc passes through the center of each I band.  During muscle contraction myosin heads become attach to and slide along the thin filaments at both ends of a sarcomere. It pulls the thin filaments toward the M line and makes the thin filaments slide inward and meet at the center of a sarcomere. This inward movement of thin filament allows their ends to overlap.

As the thin filaments slide inward, I band and H zone narrower. I band and H zone become disappear altogether when the muscle is maximally contracted. The width of the A band and the lengths of the thick and thin filaments remain unchanged.

wariber [46]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. plasma membrane

Explanation:

Bacteria do not have membrane-enclosed organelle like mitochondria to generate ATP but even then it produces ATP because in bacterial plasma membrane acts as the machinery of ATP synthesis.

The ATP synthesis in bacteria is the same as eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, the plasma membrane consists of an electron transport system and NADH helps in building the proton gradient across the plasma membrane.

Then after the proton gradient is built in the plasma membrane the proton tends to come back into the cytoplasm through the ATP synthase complex which generates ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Therefore the correct answer is d. plasma membrane.

Rocks have been found in South America that are very similar in makeup and age to rocks in South Africa
marusya05 [52]
This is because the continents were joined together in a large landmass called Pangea. The theory of continental drift supports the statement that fossils and rocks that were similar in composition(makeup) and age were found on other continents because the continents were once joined together called Pangea
