What are the two different results of a lack of calcium and a lack of atp?
liq [111]
<span>There are numerous proteins in muscle. The main two are thin actin filaments and thick myosin filaments. Thin filaments form a scaffold that thick filaments crawl up. There are many regulatory proteins such as troponin I, troponin C, and tropomyosin. There are also proteins that stabilize the cells and anchor the filaments to other cellular structures. A prime example of this is dystrophin. This protein is thought to stabilize the cell membrane during contraction and prevent it from breaking. Those who lack completely lack dystrophin have a disorder known as Duchene muscular dystrophy. This disease is characterized by muscle wasting begininng in at a young age and usually results in death by the mid 20s. The sarcomere is the repeating unit of skeletal muscle. 

Muscle cells contract by interactions of myosin heads on thick filament with actin monomers on thin filament. The myosin heads bind tightly to actin monomers until ATP binds to the myosin. This causes the release of the myosin head, which subsequently swings foward and associates with an actin monomer further up the thin filament. Hydrolysis and of ATP and the release of ADP and a phosphate allows the mysosin head to pull the thick filament up the thin filament. There are roughly 500 myosin heads on each thick filament and when they repeatedly move up the thin filament, the muscle contracts. There are many regulatory proteins of this contraction. For example, troponin I, troponin C, and tropomyosin form a regulatory switch that blocks myosin heads from binding to actin monomers until a nerve impulse stimulates an influx of calcium. This causes the switch to allow the myosin to bind to the actin and allows the muscle to contract. </span><span>

Which of the following has the most potential of experiencing background extinction based on the natural disruption described?
Neko [114]

The option that has the most potential of experiencing background extinction based on the natural disruption is : ( C ) A species that will not grow during a specific season every year

<h3>What is Background extinction </h3>

Background extinction is the gradual extinction of species due certian environmental factors such as change in weather conditions, disease, competitive disadvantage and habitat loss.

A population that will not grow during a specific season every year will experiences a gradual extinction process while other options will experience a fast and sudden extinction process.

Hence we can conclude that the most potential of experiencing background extinction based on the natural disruption is :  A species that will not grow during a specific season every year.

A food chain or food web can provide good information including _____. how much energy is transferred from one organism to anoth
Artemon [7]

Answer: A food chain or food web provide information on the eating patterns of organisms, how energy is transfered from one organisms to another and the flow if energy in the ecosystem.

Explanation:

Food chain is the link of network that that starts from producer to the consumer and finally ends at the predator species and decomposer species in the ecosystem. It describe the feeding relationships among organisms.

Food web contains interconnection of several food chains in the ecosystem. It shows several feeding relationships in food chains .

Both food chain and food web provide information of how organisms are interconnected, their eating patterns, how energy is transferred from one organisms to another and flow of energy in the ecosystem.
