"B" is the correct answer

Answer:

B. Slow twitch fibers contain more mitochondria than fast twitch fibers.

Explanation:

The slow-twitch muscle has a characteristic red color, this is because is rich in myoglobin and mitochondria. Also is dense in capillaries. It uses an oxidation reaction involving oxygen and fat or carbohydrates. This fibers contract with little force but for long periods.

The fast-twitch muscle has great strength but can only hold it for short periods. It is called white muscle because is less dense in mitochondria and myoglobin and work with anaerobic reactions.

The muscles in your body are a mixture of both types.

Taking into consideration all this, A, C, and D are false, and B is true.

Answer:

Melanin

Explanation:

Some races that are genetically programmed in such a way that the color changes according to the ambient temperature, as is the case of the Siamese cat.

Siamese cats has a gene that produces melanin (gives hair color) depending on body temperature.

This gene stops painting color when the average temperature of cats is exceeded. This absence of color (that is, white cat) causes several curiosities to occur:

1) Siamese cats that are subjected to higher temperatures, for example in summer, can develop a partial albinism.

2) Siamese babies are usually born very white, because in the mother's womb the temperature is warm. As they come in contact with the outside, the gene begins to color their fur.

3) Cat's body is colder around the ears, legs and tail. For that reason they are usually the most colored areas of the Siamese.

What was Rudolph Virchow’s contribution to the cell theory?
Ghella [55]
<span>The first two tenets of the Cell theory were postulated by Schleiden and Schwann at the first half of the 19th century. Those tenets are that "all organisms are composed of one or more cells" and that "the cell is the basic unit of life". In 1855, Rudolf Virchow added the third tenet "Omnis cellula e cellula" which means that "all cells come from cells". In other words, cells can be formed only in the division of other cells.</span>
