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 statement describes potassium-argon dating?

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: Potassium-40 decays into argon gas over time.

Explanation: Potassium-argon dating is a dating method used to determine the age of sedimentary rocks by comparing the proportion of K-40 to Ar-40 in a sample of rock, and knowing the decay rate of K-40.

Potassium-40 undergoes decay following first order kinetics as given below:

$_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}\rightarrow _{18}^{40}\textrm{Ar}+_{0}^1e$

Miller's classic experiment demonstrated that a discharge of sparks through a mixture of gases could result in the formation of

beks73 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-gas absent in primordial atmosphere (oxygen).

Explanation:

The Miller experiment was performed in 1953 to show that organic molecules can be formed from the inorganic molecules in the conditions resembling the primordial atmosphere.

Same conditions were created to the unstable atmosphere like a mixture of gases which included- methane, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen but lacked oxygen as it was absent in the primordial atmosphere.

Thus, gas absent in the primordial atmosphere (oxygen) is the correct answer.
