Answer:

Combined decrease in sarcomere length.

Explanation:

Sarcomere is the functional unit of the striated muscle tissue. The units get repeated between the two Z lines. The striation under the microscope is shown by the sarcomere.

Actin and myosin protein plays an important role in the muscle contraction. The individual length of the thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filament do not changes and slide over one other. But the sarcomere overall length decreases that result in muscle contraction.

Thus, the answer is combined decrease in sarcomere length.

Which best describes a way in which phosphorus may enter into the phosphorus cycle
Alborosie

The following choices are provided;

  • Earthquakes release phosphorus.
  • Phosphorus is carried in the rain that was evaporated from lakes.
  • Human use of fertilizers releases phosphorus into the groundwater.
  • Phosphorus is transpired.

The answer is; Earthquakes release phosphorus

Phosphorus is usually made less available to plants and to the rest of the ecosystem through runoffs. The washed-off phosphorus is deposited at the oceans- and seabeds with sediments. This phosphorus is made available again due to tectonic plate movements. Tectonic movements may cause earthquakes that expose these sediments to the earth’s surface.This uncovers the sedimentary rocks to agents of weathering and hence the elements are more available to living organisms on the surface.
