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.

42. Variation which exhibits a wide range from one
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

C. continuous variation.

Explanation:

Variation within organisms refers to how different they are from another. In biology, variation can either be a continuous one or discontinuous.

A continuous variation is a type of variation in which there is a wide range of values from one phenotype/extreme to the other. In other words, there are a lot of values in between the extremes. For example, the human height can range from different degree of shortness to a different degree of tallness. Hence, human height is an example of a trait that exhibit continuous variation.

Therefore, a variation which exhibits a wide range from one extreme to the other is CONTINUOS VARIATION.

When observing an ECG, you will see many different deflections from baseline known as waves. These deflections represent various
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. Ventricular depolarization −−QRS complex

2. Total time it takes for the ventricular muscle to depolarize and repolarize −−QT interval

3. Atrial depolarization −−P wave

4. Conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node −−PR segment

5. Ventricular repolarization −−T wave

6. The ventricles are in their depolarized state −−ST segment

7. Conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) bundle −−Q wave

Explanation:

ECG or electrocardiogram is the graphical representation of the heart's rhythm and electrical activity measured by electrical signals. The contraction of the heart shows electrical activity.

There are various deflections shows from baseline and known as specific waves and there are also some flat lines between waves called intervals. This atrial depolarization is called P wave and ventricular repolarization called T wave and the time between ventricular muscles depolarization ( QRS complex) and repolarization is QT interval. Conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) bundle is known as Q wave.
