Compaction. Is the answer to this
skelet666 [1.2K]3 years ago
6 0

The process is called as compaction.

Compaction is the process by which the sediment progressively losses its porosity due to the effect of loading. When the sediment is formed by its own it contains pores. The pore space is usually filled with water. As the sediment is deposited over time the upper layer of sediments pushes the lower layer and due to this reason the sediments deposits and stick together to form solid rock. The pore size of different sedimentary rock is different like mudstone has porosity of more than 60% and sandstone of porosity more than 40%. The porosity is reduced by compaction.

Since each myofibril is attached at either end of the muscle fiber, when sarcomeres shorten, the muscle fiber.
timama [110]

Each myofibril is attached at either end of the muscle fiber, when sarcomeres shorten, the muscle fiber Shortens

Mechanism :

Myofibrils are components of the animal skeletal muscles that are made up of sacromeres. They perform the muscular contraction and relaxation via the sliding filament model.

To produce motion, A cross-bridge forms between actin and the myosin heads triggering shortening of the sacromere. This shortening of the sacromere results in the contraction of the muscle fibers, which the net effect can be seen to be a shortening of the fibers.

What does it mean for a cell membrane to be selectively permable
Kruka [31]
It only allows certain things through, such as water. One way to remember it is to think about how you wouldn’t eat just anything, and the cell doesn’t let just anything in. I hope this helps
