You experimentally apply a toxin to a muscle and find that it does not contract when you electrically stimulate the motor neuron

leading to it. You know that this toxin blocks acetylcholine receptors. Therefore, you suspect that the stimulation of contraction is failing because: Group of answer choices

The question provided is not complete as it lacks the group of choices, however the group of choices are given as follows:

A. A contraction fails to occur because an action potential is not generated in the muscle cell.

B. A contraction fails to occur because this toxin directly prevents ion release from intracellular stores.

C. A contraction fails to occur because neurotransmitter release by the motor neuron is blocked at the neuromuscular junction.

D. A contraction fails to occur because this toxin prevents cross bridge formation and thereby directly prevents contraction.

E. C and D are both true

Answer:

The correct answer is option A : A contraction fails to occur because an action potential is not generated in the muscle cell.

Explanation:

A muscle contraction takes place when action potential bring to muscles by nerves, which is traveled with the help of motor neuron and imitated the muscle contraction.

Acetylcholine or Ach is a chemical messenger to bring the nerve impulses between a nerve and a muscle. If the receptor is block with applying toxin muscle will not contract as ACh will not be able to propagate the nerve impulse to the muscle so there will be no action potential.

The correct answer is option A : A contraction fails to occur because an action potential is not generated in the muscle cell.

Would the human body want to get back to its optimal (best) settings for temperature, glucose levels, etc.? Explain your answer
timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

Introduction. The tendency to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment is called homeostasis. The body maintains homeostasis for many factors in addition to temperature. For instance, the concentration of various ions in your blood must be kept steady, along with pH and the concentration of glucose.

Since each myofibril is attached at either end of the muscle fiber, when sarcomeres shorten, the muscle fiber
zmey [24]

Answer:

B. Shortens

Explanation:

Myofibrils are components of the animal skeletal muscles that are made up of sacromeres. They perform the muscular contraction and relaxation via the sliding filament model.

To produce motion, A cross-bridge forms between actin and the myosin heads triggering shortening of the sacromere. This shortening of the sacromere results in the contraction of the muscle fibers, which the net effect can be seen to be a shortening of the fibers

Answers:

D) According to the graph, obesity and diabetes are intertwined, which could be why obesity and diabetes are linked.

E) Diabetes had the greatest rise in prevalence in 1997 until 2000, with prevalence percentages between about 76% to 78%.

Explanation: Explanation for these answers are below:

D) Looking at the graph, obesity and diabetes had similar prevalences in 1997 and 1998, and started to part ways a little in 1999.  In fact, even without the graph, scientists have known for a long time that people who have obesity also have diabetes.  This graph supports that claim because of how closely linked diabetes and obesity are and how similar the prevalence percentages are.

E) Diabetes had the greatest rise in 1997 to 2000, which had a 78% prevalence by 2000.  Obesity had very similar prevalence percentages from 75.5% to 77% in 1997 to 2000.
