Olenka [21]3 years ago

Answer:

In muscles contraction the correct order of the steps are: A (Nerve impulse reaches the muscle), B (Action potential travels down T-tubules), C (Calcium binds to troponin), D (Tropomyosin moves).

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle contractions are based on different physiological and biochemical phenomena that happen in every cell. These phenomena are due to stimulation produced by somatic motor neurons, which axons get in contact with muscle fibers through a neuromuscular synapse.  In rest, attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments are inhibited by the tropomyosin. When an action potential is originated in the central nervous system, it travels to the somatic motor neuron membrane: the muscle fiber, and activates the calcium channels releasing it in the neuron. Calcium makes vesicles to fuse with the membrane and release the neurotransmitter named acetylcholine (Ach) into the synaptic space in the juncture. Then, Ach binds to its receptors on the skeletal muscle fiber. This causes the ion channels to open, and positively charged sodium ions cross the membrane to get into the muscle fiber (sarcoplasm) and potassium get out. The difference in charges caused by the migration of sodium and potassium makes the muscle fiber membrane to become more positively charged (depolarized). The action potential caused by this depolarization enters the t-tubules depolarizing the inner portion of the muscle fiber. This activates calcium channels in the T tubules membrane, that make the calcium be released into the sarcolemma. At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to the troponin C, the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites. Myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, and while doing it ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate. Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.

Which of the following is true of receptors for dynamic equilibrium?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Dynamic equilibrium refers to the sense, which interprets angular acceleration in the three-axis of rotation that when combined provides a sense of equilibrium when movement takes place. The receptors for dynamic equilibrium are known as ampulla, maculae are the receptors of static equilibrium.  

The movement of the head does stimulate dynamic equilibrium receptors, as these receptors are situated in the inner ear that moves with the head. The receptors for dynamic equilibrium are situated in the semicircular canals. The receptors for dynamic equilibrium react to rotational forces, as the receptors are located on the three-axis, thus, they can detect rotation, that is, angular momentum.

The eukaryotic cell has multiple membrane-enclosed compartments. This evolutionary innovation provides what advantage to the cel
Ahat [919]

Explanation:

One of the main differences between prokaryotes and wukaryotes is that the last ones have a nucleus and organelles with their own membranes. <em>This carachteristic allow them to organize into multicellular organisms isolating different processes (enzymes, reactants) making them easier to manage and more efficient due to the smaller volume that increase the rate of reactions.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
