Answer:

The non-polar fatty acid tails of amphipathic phospholipids make the insoluble boundary of cells.

Explanation:

Cell membranes are bilayer of phospholipids. Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules and have a polar head and non-polar tail. The non-polar tails of two phospholipid layers are buried and make the core of the membrane while the polar heads are located towards the surrounding water.

This arrangement of phospholipids makes an insoluble covering of cell and helps the cell to maintain the interior distinct from the surroundings.

It makes sense that cell membranes are made of phospholipids because water cant mix in with lipids, so the phospholipids will be able to effectively block out any unwanted water or chemicals suspended in water outside of the cell.

if the stimuli are delivered to the contracting muscles more frequently and ther is no time for relaxqtion
Mamont248 [21]

If the stimulus frequency is so high that the relaxation phase disappears completely, contractions become continuous in a process called complete tetanus.

What is tetanic contraction?

  • When the motor neuron that innervates a skeletal muscle generates action potentials at an extremely rapid rate, a persistent muscular contraction known as a tetanic contraction is induced.
  • A motor unit has experienced its motor neuron's maximum stimulation during this state, which lasts for a while. This happens when several impulses with a high enough frequency excite the motor unit of a muscle.
  • Every trigger results in a twitch. A slow enough stimulus delivery will cause the muscular tension to release between each succeeding twitch. High frequency stimulation will cause the twitches to overlap, which will cause tetanic contraction.
