The sliding filament model is our best explanation of how a skeletal muscle shortens. Based on your knowledge of the structure o

f the sarcomere and the changes that occur in the sarcomere with muscle contraction, explain the evidence that supports the sliding filament model.

A sacromere is a segment between two adjacent Z discs and are essential for the striated structure of the cardiac and skeletal muscles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Z disc is surrounded by the I band made of thin filament called actin. The I band is followed by the A band made up of thick filament called myosin. When the muscles contract the actin and the myosin become superimposed/overlapped.

The sliding filament model explains the contraction of the sacromere in which the Z discs move closer due to the overlapping of the thin and thick filaments. Thus the I band moves close to the A band which remain the same length as shown in figure.

Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

3. The salinity of water increases as the water moves from the inland area to the ocean. This is because the ocean has high salinity.

Salinity is the amount or concentration of salt in the water.

WAYS BY WHICH ESTUARIES PROTECT THE INLAND AREAS

1. The plant in estuaries prevent shoreline erosion.

2. Protect the inland areas from flooding.

3. Protect the inland areas from storm surges from hurricane.

IMPORTANCE OF ESTUARIES TO INLAND PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE.

1. They provide nesting and feeding habits for many aquatic plants and animals.

2. Provide goals and services that are economically and ecologically indispensable.

3. Prevent shoreline erosion

4. Protect the inland areas from flooding.

IMPACTS OF DREDGING ON FISH LIVING ESTUARIES.

Dredging have negative impacts on the organisms in estuaries. These are

1. Habitat degradation

2. Remobilization of contaminants

3. Increase rate of sedimentation.

4. Increased the concentration of suspended matter.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Latitude or distance from the equator – Temperatures drop the further an area is from the equator due to the curvature of the earth. In areas closer to the poles, sunlight has a larger area of atmosphere to pass through and the sun is at a lower angle in the sky.

2. Altitude or height (also sometimes known as depth) is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object. The exact definition and reference datum varies according to the context (e.g., aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, or atmospheric pressure). Although the term altitude is commonly used to mean the height above sea level of a location, in geography the term elevation is often preferred for this usage.

3. Large bodies of water, such as oceans, seas and large lakes, can affect the climate of an area. Water heats and cools more slowly than landmasses. Therefore, the coastal regions will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, thus creating a more moderate climate with a narrower temperature range.

4. Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms. Currents are cohesive streams of seawater that circulate through the ocean
