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.

a. Water enters the phloem through osmosis

e. Pressure from the leaves pushes the water and glucose through the phloem

f. An area of low glucose concentration is reached

g. Glucose is actively transported out of the phloem

b. Water exits the phloem through osmosis

<h3>What is translocation?</h3>

The transport of sugar created during photosynthesis to all other areas of the plant for respiration and the other activities mentioned above is known as translocation.

Utilizing light energy, plants use photosynthesis to convert the inorganic chemicals carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Respiration uses a portion of the glucose created by photosynthesis. The seven biological processes receive energy as a result.
