How did the frequency of stimulation affect the amount of force generated by the isolated skeletal muscle when the frequency of

stimulation was increased such that the muscle twitches did not fully relax between subsequent stimuli?
Biology

Alexxandr [17]3 years ago

Answer:

When the frequency of stimulation of a muscle increases -without it having the opportunity to relax- a process called summation (addition) occurs, promoting an increase in the generation of force in the isolated skeletal muscle.

Explanation:

Summation is a phenomenon that occurs as a consequence of the arrival of successive stimuli that produce the contraction of the skeletal muscle before it achieves its partial or total relaxation, between subsequent stimuli.

<em>When the summation occurs in the muscle, the force generated on it increases its magnitude proportionally to the number of stimuli received, maintaining the muscle contraction in time</em>.

Tetany is the prolonged contraction of a muscle in an abnormal way, by the summation of stimuli received , as some bacterial toxins can produce. The summation can be temporary -when multiple stimuli reach the muscle in a determined time- or spatial, when the amount of stimuli activates a greater amount of motor units.

How would earths climate differ if water were not a polar molecule
ser-zykov [4K]
Water molecules bond to each other in a covalent bond where they stay connected. They also have poles like a magnet, making it a polar molecule.
If water is no longer polar the surface tension would lower to the point where ice can no longer float, the water would freeze, cooling the climate considerably.

How is nitrogen from the atmosphere, the abiotic part of the ecosystem, converted into the biotic part of the ecosystem in organ
creativ13 [48]
In the process of the nitrogen cycle. <span>                
The nitrogen cycle is a biogeochemical succession process of nitrogen that involves: fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. Like any other biogeochemical cycles. This process undergoes and affects the biological, geometrical and chemical aspects in the ecosystem and the abiotic and biotic community. Hence, the nitrogen cycle leads the abiotic component –nitrogen- to contribute to the biotic community, decomposition and primal production. Further, it becomes an essential part of the environment because some life components are contains it, similarly, amino acids, nucleic acids in RNA and DNA.  </span><span> </span>
