How does the process of smooth muscle contraction differ from contraction in skeletal muscle?

Biology
1 answer:
Lana71 [14]4 years ago
7 0

Similar to the other types of muscle, smooth muscle contraction is caused by the sliding of myosin and actin filaments over each other. Calcium initiates contractions in a different way in a smooth muscle than in a skeletal muscle.

Smooth muscles use less energy to generate the given amount of force, can substain contractile force without fatigue & uses calcium from the sarcoplasic reticulum & extracellular space.

If it takes 16.73 mL of a 0.253 M LiOH solution to neutralize10.00 mL of HBr, what is its concentration?
krek1111 [17]
The neutralization reaction is written as:

LiOH + HBr = LiBr + H2O

0.253 mol LiOH / L solution ( .01673 L solution ) ( 1 mol HBr / 1 mol LiOH ) = 4.233 x 10^-3 mol HBr

Concentration of HBr solution = <span>4.233 x 10^-3 mol HBr / .01 L solution = 0.423 M HBr solution</span>

You are studying droplets of various solutions and comparing them to water. what shape do they start as?
cricket20 [7]

In the case of liquid droplets, including water, surface tension is the factor, which is accountable for their shapes and configuration. Though can easily be malformed, the droplets of water seem to be pulled into a spherical shape due to the cohesive forces of the surface layer.  

In the non-existence of other forces, involving gravity, the drops of almost all the liquids would be almost spherical.
