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.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.  

Explanation:

As you have seen in the question above, lycanthropy is a mutation that is more likely to be established as the supply of male gametes comes from older men. This is because sperm undergo more mitotic cell divisions than eggs, and therefore are at greater risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.

In order for you to understand this, you need to know that eggs (which are female gametes) are produced at once in a woman's body. Thus, cell division is limited and therefore the opportunity for spontaneous mutations to occur is also limited. However, men produce sperm from adolescence to death, creating the need for countless cell divisions, which can develop genetic errors that create spontaneous mutations in gametes.

Which is the highest population density of grasshoppers?
LenKa [72]

35 grasshoppers/10 square meters has the highest population density.

  • The highest population density of grasshoppers is 35 grasshoppers/10 square meters because more number of organisms are present in less area as compared to other population density.
  • In the option i.e. 40 grasshoppers/20 square meters and 50 grasshoppers/30 square meters have more number of organisms but the area is also greater.
  • And we know that high population density means more number of organisms in less area so we can conclude that 35 grasshoppers/10 square meters has the highest population density.

The mass of a single atom of carbon can be found by dividing the atomic mass (12.01 g) by 6.022 mc024-1.jpg 1023.
marin [14]
The mass of one atom of carbon in the correct number of significant figures is 1.99×10-²³. There are four significant figures each in both the atomic mass of carbon (12.01 g) and Avogadro's number, so the answer must also have 4 significant figures. The operation is shown below:
