Answer:
The best answer to the question: These cellular structures are utilized in strong involuntary muscle contractions and transmission of electrical impulses, would be: T-Tubules.
Explanation:
In both skeletal and cardiac muscle, not smooth muscle, because of the way that the muscle fibers are conformed into tight bundles of sarcomeres (skeletal muscle) and myocardiocytes (cardiac muscle), there is a need for a series of structures that will ensure that when there is a stimulus from the nervous systems, these stimulus will propagate to all the cells in the fibers, and not just one.
Aside from counting with a neuromuscular motor plate, which will receive the neurotransmitter from the nerve endings and produce the appropriate reactions, as well as propagate that reaction to all the cells that are being stimulated, muscle fibers also have a structure known as T-Tubules. T-Tubules are formations much like roadways of cell plasma membrane that connect not just one, but all the cells within a muscle fiber so that once a stimulus comes, all the cells will initiate the process of calcium release and action potential propagation. These T-Tubules will ensure that electrical impulses reach all muscle cells and that all cells react at the same time as needed.
Answer:
of the low pH of the vagina.
Explanation:
The pH of the vagina is maintained at highly acidic levels to prevent the germ buildup. The range of vaginal pH is around 3.8 to 4.5. The very low pH of the vagina creates a hostile environment for sperms and most of the sperms are killed as they enter the vagina due to the acidic pH.
Apart from supplementing the sperms with energy, cervical mucus serves to protect the sperms from the hostile conditions of the vagina. The cervical mucus has an alkaline pH at or near the ovulation to protect sperms from acidic pH of the vagina and to facilitate fertilization.
A chemical reaction is a process by which atoms or groups of atoms in a particular substance are rearranged from the arrangement within the reactants to a new arrangement within the products.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Over time more and more molecules of DCPIP would be decreased by electrons taken from plastoquinone (Pq). This statement is true in the sense that DCPIP is an artificial electronic acceptor which is decreased by taking electrons from plastoquinone.
2.) Water splitting by Photosystem II would occur at higher levels than if the drug were administered without DCPIP. This statement is true.
3.)Events in Photosystem I would occur just as they would in the absence of drug and DCPIP. This statement is false because the drug obstructs the electron transport from plastoquinone to cytochrome B. So the events are abnormal because no protein transfer is involved in this mechanism.
