Answer:

The correct answer will be option A - A-band.

Explanation:

The sarcomere is the repeating unit of a myofibril which extends between two z-lines. Under a microscope, a sarcomere can be divided into A- band which is composed of thick myosin only and I-band which consists of thin filament that is actin only.

When a muscle contract then actin and myosin comes in overlapping position due to which I-band shortens and between two z-lines and overlapped structure of thin actin filaments over thick myosin filaments (A-band) is seen.  

Therefore, only A-band is seen between two z-lines in a contracted muscle thus, option A is the correct answer.

atroni [7]

Answer:

d. with just a few nights of sleep deprivation, but recovery will take more than a month of normal sleep

Explanation:

During sleep, the body heals itself, wear and tear of cells occur, and the chemical balance of hormones and neurotransmitters is restored. During sleep, the body prepares cytokines, that are protection and infection-fighting substances. Sleep deprivation prevents the production of cytokines and the ability to fight and prevent infections decreases. Sleep also enhances the T-cell responses which are associated with lymphocyte production pathway. Hence, people who remain awake have a lesser T-cell count due to decrease activation of T-cells. Hence, a few nights of sleep deprivation makes the immune system lack behind in the T-cell response generation. This low T-cell activity does not only impede the production of immune system cells but also reduces the functioning of existing cells such as decrease in cytokine functioning. Hence, the entire immune system cells needs a double amount of sleep functioning to keep track of immune system responses and rebuild the cells.
