List three reasons why the connective tissue sheaths of skeletal muscle are important

Biology
1 answer:
insens350 [35]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

These are the three reasons why the connective tissue wrappings of the skeletal muscle are important:

- Supporting and binding the muscle fibers.

- Providing strength to the muscle as a whole.

- Provide a route for the entry and exit of nerves and blood vessels that serve the muscle fibers.

Skeletal muscle has three different connective tissue layers: the whole muscle is enclosed by a dense connective tissue sheath called the epimysium, cells (fibers), like other body cells, are soft and fragile. The connective tissue covering furnish support and protection for the delicate cells and allow them to withstand the forces of contraction.

There are more indirect muscle attachments than direct—that is, tendinous-muscle attachments than direct muscle attachments because of their small size, more tendons can pass over a joint.

Three characteristics of enzymes​
levacccp [35]

Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up reactions although they are not changed in the reaction. Enzymes are proteins, and therefore are folded chains of amino acids with a specific shape. This shape is determined by the sequence of amino acids held together by bonds, for example Hydrogen bonds. Enzymes speed up reactions by bringing reactants together and reducing the activation energy required to start the reaction (enzymatic reaction).

Enzymes are specific: they have a specific shape, therefore only a certain substrate will fit its active site. There are two theories of enzyme action: Lock and Key and Induced Fit.  The lock and key theory states that only a certain substrate will fit a certain active site, just like a key fits a lock. Induced Fit, likewise, states that enzymes wrap around substrates, attracted to each other by opposite charges, forming an enzyme substrate complex.

A viral infection in which the virus can remain latent in the host cell for weeks to years is described as a(n) _________ infect
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Persistent infection

Explanation:

Viruses have the ability to remain in the host cell in a dormant state or latent state for many years. This is a part of reproduction cycle of a virus called the lysogenic cycle. This causes persistent infection in the host because the virus remains in the host cell and cause infection.

This persistent infection can cause cancer in the host because the viral genome incorporates in the host cell genome and take controls on its gene machinery. For example, HPV can incorporate itself in the host genome and can alter it which can cause cancer. So the correct answer is persistent infection.
