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

Biology
1 answer:
Lana71 [14]3 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.

-Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast, an organelle specific to plant cells. The light reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.

-Energy Cycle in Living Things
The chloroplasts collect energy from the sun and use carbon dioxide and water in the process called photosynthesis to produce sugars. Animals can make use of the sugars provided by the plants in their own cellular energy factories, the mitochondria.

-Cyanobacteria, often known as blue-green algae, are among the most abundant organisms in oceans and fresh water. They are similar to green plants because they can use the energy from sunlight to make their own food through photosynthesis.

-What is a microbe? A microbe is any living organism that spends its life at a size too tiny to be seen with the naked eye. Microbes include bacteria and archaebacteria, protists, some fungi and even some very tiny animals that are too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope.

-Plants, algae and cyanobacteria use a chemical reaction known as photosynthesis to create the materials they need from what's around them. Plucking carbon dioxide from the air, water from the ground and light from the sun, land plants make sugar and kick out oxygen as a waste product.

55 Which of the following is an advantage of
Savatey [412]

<u>Answer</u>:

"It increases the mutation rate"  is an advantage of  sexual reproduction

<u>Explanation</u>:

The basic thing of evolution is fundamental, as it helps in generation of genetic variation on which the selection can act. Sexual reproduction leads to genetic diversity, and this genetic diversity leads to increase the mutation rate. Genetic diversity occurs because of two various cells which are combining together and biological assortment which happens at the time of cell division. Neutral genetic diversity in the population leads to high mutation rate.

Human and sperm whale myoglobin have very similar primary structures. Which of the following statements are correct? a. The two
Mandarinka [93]

Question is incomplete ,complete question is as follows :

Human and sperm whale myoglobin have very similar primary structures. Which of the following statements are correct?

1) The two proteins are very likely related evolutionarily.

2) The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a conservative change (such L for I).

3) The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a nonconservative change (such as D for A).

4) There is no correlation between the two proteins since they originate from very different species.

Human and sperm whale myoglobin have very similar primary structures. Which of the following statements are correct?

A) Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

B) Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct.

C) Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.

D) All of the listed statements are correct.

Answer:

A) Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Explanation:

As the Human and sperm whale myoglobin  are very likely related evolutionarily hence option a is correct.

The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a conservative change (such as L for I) hence option b is also correct.

While all the other options are not correct.
