Biology
1 answer:
ycow [4]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cardiac muscle tissue

Explanation:

Myocardium or heart muscle is a special type of muscle (differ than striated and smooth) and it is the main tissue of the walls of the heart.

Heart muscle consists of individual heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) which are joined together by intercalated discs. It also contains  collagen fibres and other substances that form the extracellular matrix.

Heart muscle has a "special" mode of contraction: action potential triggers the release of calcium ions from the cell's internal store, the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Sodium and oxygen colvalent bond
snow_lady [41]

Answer AND Explanation:

When sodium atoms bond with one oxygen atom they form a covalent bond. However, there has to be two sodium atoms each with an extra electron that are donated to oxygen. Each of these sodium atoms gives oxygen one electron, allowing the oxygen atom to have a full shell with eight electrons. The sodium atom loses one orbital level since the electrons are donated.

4Na + O2 → 2Na2O

What is cytosol? What does it do?
ValentinkaMS [17]
<span>The cytoplasm of the cells consists of two main elements: cytosol and the organelles. The cytosol is the part of the cytoplasm that surrounds organelles. It is a mixture of cell substances dissolved in water. In prokaryotes, it has an important role in metabolism since most of the reactions take place in the cytosol. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotes have organelles, so not all of the reactions take place in the cytosol. Some of them occur in the organelles.</span>
