QUESTION 1

Biology

Answer:

According to the sliding-filament model of contraction, the muscle contraction occur due to the myosin heads propel the actin myofilaments toward the center of the sarcomere. This pulls the Z disks closer together, shortening  sarcomere and the entire muscle

Explanation:

In the muscle fiber there are two proteins that facilitate the process of contraction, myosin and actin. Myosin is thicker and more abundant than actin, and its interaction is responsible for the process of muscle contraction.

Both molecules, myosin and actin, form bonds -called cross bridges- where the myosin heads produce the mobilization of actin towards the center of the sarcomere. Z discs are associated with actin myofibrils, so they come close, and promote the shortening of the sarcomere.

This process requires the action of calcium ions, which depolarize the muscle cell and consume energy in the form of ATP.

It should be noted that the myosin and actin molecules do not change their length, but their action causes the muscle fibers to shorten during contraction.

How can roots, stems, and leaves all be involved in food storage?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Plant produces food material in the process of photosynthesis in the leaves. The food that is produced in the form of glucose (sugar) is transported from the leaves to other parts of the plants such as roots, stem and seeds with the help of water. When the glucose reaches to the storage part it is stored in the form of starch.

For example, in carrot and potato food is stored in roots while in sugar cane the food is stored in the stem.
