Rigor mortis occurs because ________.

Biology
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

No ATP is available to release attached actin and myosin molecules.

Explanation:

Two to six hours later after death, all skeletal muscles of the body become rigid and stiff. This situation is defined as Rigor mortis. It occurs from the lack of ATP along with the production of lactic acid. When breathing stopped permanently in the body, oxygen level also reduced; that’s why body muscles cannot go for any aerobic respiration to produce any ATP. 

As we know already, during every muscle construction, ATP needs to break the cross-bridge between Myosin and Actin. So if there is no ATP produced in the body, separation of Myosin molecules from Actin molecules cannot happen anymore. This situation leads for rigor mortis.

Si se aparean especies diferentes como por ejemplo el cruce entre caballos y burros; podemos afirmar que si llegan a tener desce
White raven [17]

Answer:

El híbrido va a ser esteril.

Explanation:

En la cruza entre dos especies distintas, cuando ocurre, existen distintos mecanismos de aislamiento reproductivo, que son barreras que inhiben o interrumpen el flujo génico entre especies distintas. Es decir que no habrá exito reproductivo de estas cruzas. Se trata de caracteres biológicos propios de cada especie que previenen la reproducción con otras especies.

Estos mecanismos de aislamiento reproductivo pueden ser precigóticos o postcigóticos.  

  1.Pre-copulatorios o pre-cigóticos:

  • Ecológico o por aislamiento de hábitat;
  • Estacional o temporal;
  • Sexual o etológico;
  • Mecánico;
  • Por incompatibilidad de gametas.  

  2. Post-copulatorios o cigóticos:

  • Inviabilidad del híbrido;
  • Esterilidad del híbrido;
  • Híbrido con viabilidad o fertilidad disminuido;
  • Interacciones citoplasmáticas.

La mula es producto de la cruza entre dos especies distintas: una yegua (Equus ferus caballus) y un burro (Equus africanus asinus). Es un ejemplo de la accion de mecanismo poscigótico, en el cual se forma un híbrido viable esteril. Este ejemplar puede nacer, crecer y sobrevivir, pero que no puede producir gametas funcionales, por lo cual no puede reproducirse.

Many nutrients are absorbed in the blood stream from the small intestine. the first organ that gets this nutrient blood is
MArishka [77]
The first organ that receives nutrients from the small intestine is the liver. To better understand this, check out the process flow of the digestive system up to how the liver becomes the first organ to benefit from the nutrient absorption by the small intestines. 1. Esophagus - After chewing, the food is pushed down the esophagus and then out of the esophageal sphincter, which is a ring-like muscle at the junction of the esophagus and stomach that controls the passage of food and liquid between the esophagus and stomach.2. Stomach - Swallowed food and liquid are stored in the stomach. The stomach then mixes the food and liquid with digestive juices that it produces. The mixed food and gastric juices will then be called chyme. The chyme is then slowly emptied into the small intestine. 3. Small intestine - The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine and push the mixture forward to help with further digestion. The small intestine has multiple parts: the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum. The ileum mix and push food towards the large intestines. Located within the ileum are villi that increase the surface area for absorption. The nutrients absorbed here are transferred to the blood stream and liver.

These are the organic compounds that your body needs for normal metabolic processes?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

There are Five main compounds but our body need carbohydrate and protein more.

Explanation:

There are five major organic compounds that our body needs for normal metabolic processes. These are- Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and high energy compounds. organic compounds are involved in almost all biochemical activities that is related to metabolism. The organic compounds always contain carbon.  Carbs act as the source of energy to the body. They converted to glucose, which used in cellular respiration. Lipids act as  fatty acids. Proteins have a structural function like keratin in skin and hair. Nucleic acids are large organic compounds that store and process information at the molecular level inside the body cells. High energy compounds like ATP serves as a source of cellular energy.
