Answer:

sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped

Explanation:

Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.

Find the remainder when p(x) = –2x5 + x4 + 5x3 + 4x + 1 is divided by (x - 2).
borishaifa [10]

The remainder when p(x) = -2x⁵+x⁴+5x³+4x+1 is divided by (x-2) is 1.

To solve the question above, we make use of the remainder theorem.

Remainder Theorem: It states that if a function F(x) is divided by (x-a), the remainder is F(a).

From the question,

Given:

  • Dividend ⇒ p(x) = -2x⁵+x⁴+5x³+4x+1
  • Divisor ⇒ (x-2)

in view of the above and applying the Remainder theorem, The remainder will be p(2)

  • p(2) = -2(2⁵)+2⁴+5(2³)+4(2)+1
  • p(2) = -64+16+40+8+1
  • p(2) = 1

hence the remainder when p(x) = -2x⁵+x⁴+5x³+4x+1 is divided by (x-2) is 1

Ganezh [65]
External respiration (correct answer) involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the environment.

The exchange of wastes through the skin is just called excretion by sweating. 

There is no exchange of nutrients that occur in the lungs but rather absorption of nutrients is the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the cell is called cellular respiration and involves carrying oxygen from the blood to the cell then the cell uses it as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. The metabolic wastes of the cell, primarily carbon dioxide, goes now to the bloodstream to be exchanged for oxygen in the lungs.
