Mekhanik [1.2K]

Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

A. collagen fibers.

B. gelatinous mass.

C. actin and myosin fibers.

D. keratin fibers.

E. fibroblast cells.

Answer:

C. actin and myosin fibers.

Explanation:

Muscle cells or myocytes are unique because they have an abundant amount of actin and myosin fibers. These fibers are responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscles. They are protein filaments, myosin is called thick filament and actin is called thin filament. Muscle cells not only have an abundant number of these fibers, but also they are organized properly in a fixed pattern. Each myosin is surrounded by actin and each actin is surrounded by myosin. They slide over each other in a fixed pattern to cause muscle contraction.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is C: l<em>oss of chloroplasts.</em>

Explanation:

The parasite would lose chloroplasts. As they absorb nutrients from the fish digest food in the gut of the animal, parasites do not need to photosynthesize any more. There are some parasites in the fishes digestive tract that conserve their motile capacity by keeping their flagellum or cilium. Some species get their membranes thicker for protection in their interaction with the host, and they can also secrete a special capsule.  In general, these organisms reproduce asexually.

What is the life cycle of a parasite in stages ?<br> Please help me thank you
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. Explanation: The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the broomrapes. There are six major parasitic strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism, trophically transmitted parasitism, vector-transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation.
