Answer:

(a) Z-lines

(b) Sarcomeres

(c) The arrangement of of actin and myosin filament is called the 'double strand of pearls'

(d) The alternating strands of actin and myosin filaments gives a skeletal muscle fibre its striated appearance.

Explanation:

Each skeletal muscle is a discrete organ, made up of several kinds of tissues.These tissue includes: skeletal muscle fibres, blood vessels, nerve fibres and connective tissues. Each muscle fibre contains many myofibrils that run parallel to its length.

A sarcomere is the region of a myofibril between two successive Z- disk (or Z-lines), which is basically a 'junction points' between sarcomeres.

The striated appearance of skeletal muscle fibers is due to the arrangement of the thick and thin myofilaments within each sarcomere. And within these actin and myosin filaments are found.

Explain the water cycle in your own words.
Lynna [10]

Answer:

the water cycle how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.

the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.

The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmosphere, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems. The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes.

They help populations survive by keeping out herbivores and feeding on the algae. They help drive nutrients cycle and transfer energy from algae to invasive fish.
