Caffeine cause dose dependent prominent increase in force of contraction and period of contraction of muscle

<u>Explanation:</u>

Caffeine is widely used in foods and drinks. Its long time use can effect central nervous system include lethargy memory, sleep disorder and anxiety.

Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.  However latent period and relaxation period are unaffected by caffeine. Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.

Because of calcium ion release in skeletal muscle, caffeine causes peripheral manifestation such as hyper-reflexia, muscle twitching etc.

High amount of caffeine leads to increase in release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum. It increases tension development in single tetanic contraction and re-initiate maximum tension in fatigue single myofibre by restoring Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum to non-fatigued levels.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: If every gene has a tissue-specific and signal-dependent transcription pattern, how can such a small number of transcriptional regulatory proteins generate a much larger set of transcriptional patterns? Would be:

Because transcriptional regulators, which are the ones responsible for initiating, and stopping, transcription of RNA into protein, often work in pairs, one goes with the other, and thus increase the regulatory capabilities over gene expression so that the genes translated into RNA and then transcribed into aminoacids in protein chains, actually code for the correct protein types.

These regulators will both stand, as appropriate, on a specific gene to promote its transcription, or prevent it, depending on the different signaling mechanisms received.

Answer:

Mitochondrial DNA accumulates DNA mutations quickly. Because of this, it would be most beneficial in analyzing the ancestral relationship of organisms that are

A. Mitochondrial DNA is beneficial in both of these cases

B. Distantly related

C. Mitochondrial DNA is not used to analyze relationships

D. Closely related

Explanation:

Mitochondrial DNA <em>does not serve to identify individuals without ambiguity</em>, but to detect kinships between groups of individuals; it is then used for comparisons between missing persons and unidentified remains and their relatives.

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>D. closely related.</u>

Which of the following statements is true about an endergonic reaction?
luda_lava [24]
For an endergonic reaction, the statement ΔG is positive is the true statement. So the first option in the given question is the correct option. Any reaction that requires energy to be absorbed is called an endergonic reaction. For example, photosynthesis is a great example of endergonic reaction. In photosynthesis sunlight is required to be absorbed to complete the reaction. The sunlight acts as the energy required. This type of reaction is never spontaneous, but requires external force to complete the reaction.
