Answer:The above statement is "false".

Explanation:

The following events take place during contraction-relaxation of a muscle:

•Action potential in T tubule activates voltage-sensitive receptors,which in turn trigger Ca ions release from terminal cisternae of sacroplasmic reticulum(SR) into cystol.

•Ca ions bind to troponin;troponin changes shape,removing the blocking action of tropomyosin;actin active sites is exposed.

•CONTRACTION; myosin heads alternatively attach to actin and detach,pulling the actin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere;using ATP in this process.

•removal of Ca ions by active transport into the SR after the action potential ends.

•RELAXATION occurs.Actin and myosin return back to its unbound state.

In pea plants, the allele for tall plants is dominant to the allele for short plants. If a homozygous tall plant is crossed with
DaniilM [7]
Heterozygous pea plant would have two kinds of gametes: T and t. Homozygous pea plant would have only one kind of gamete: T. Based on punnet square, all F1 progeny would be either TT or Tt for their genotype.         T   l   tT     TT  l  Tt T     TT  l  Tt I have made punnet square for your easy comprehension.  Since T is dominant over  t, all F1 progeny will be tall, that is 100% tall in phenotype. 50% of this progeny would be homozygous tall and rest 50% would be heterozygous tall. Hope this helps.

If a fossil contains 50% of the amount of carbon that a living animal contains, how many half lives have passed while it decayed
vekshin1

The currently accepted value for the half-life of 14C is 5,730 years. This means that after 5,730 years, only half of the initial 14C will remain; a quarter will remain after 11,460 years; an eighth after 17,190 years; and so on.

What would happen to an ecosystem if the decomposers and detritivores disappeared?
svp [43]
Organisms that die would have a harder time decaying, or may not even break down at all! Decomposers and detritivores break down dead organisms so without them it won't take place.
