Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

The muscle fiber / myofibrils consist of 2 types of filaments - actin and myosin. The myosin filaments are thick filament whereas the actin filaments are the thin filament.

In addition to this, the muscles have A-band and I-bands. These bands give the muscles alternate light and dark colour band structure. In the A-band, myosin filaments are present, whereas in the I - band the actin filaments are found.

In I-band 2 Z-lines are located.  The area between the Z-lines is called sarcomere. In this sarcomere region both actin and myosin filaments present.

When muscles get contracted the length of the sarcomere shorten. The actin and myosin filaments overlap in this area. A cross-bridge form between them, with the help of filamentous protein titin.

A student conducted an experiment to test whether talking to plants would help them to grow faster. The student talked to one gr
timurjin [86]
The answer I believe would be talking to plants may or may not helps plants grow faster because the amount of water given was likely different for each group. I say this because there are more than one manipulated variables. (Each experiment should only have one manipulated variable to really be able to come to a conclusion) The student wants to see if talking to the plant will help. But the student also used different watering methods. So there was more than one manipulated variable. This can not give a good enough result because we do not know which affected the plant- the talking or the watering method/amount.

Hope this helps!
