Answer:

There are more thick filaments than thin filaments. (Ans. D)

Explanation:

Smooth muscle doesn't contain the calcium binding protein troponin. In smooth muscle, contraction is initiated by a calcium regulated phosphorylation of myosin, rather than a calcium activated troponin system.

The intermediate filaments are connected to each other with the help of dense bodies, which are attached to adherens junction in the cell membrane of the smooth muscle cells which are known as sarcolemma.

Smooth muscle cell lack sarcomeres because their filaments occur as a spiral and actin, myosin filaments are not regularly arrayed along the length of the cell.

In smooth muscle thin filaments occurs more than thick filaments.

So, the answer is D.

romanna [79]

The conclusion that coral does not grow well in conditions with high salt is invalid because (B)  The experiment changes more than one variable at once.

In order to correctly study the effect of three variables on there needs to be, 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 different aquariums (every variable takes 3 different values and there are 3 different variables).

In these aquariums, only one condition needs to be varied at a time to study its effect. To study the condition with high salt, the temperature and pH needs needs to be kept fixed at a particular value whilst varying the salinity from normal to low to high.
