In multicellular organisms, cell division<span> is essential for </span>three major functions<span>: growth, development, and repair. Through </span>cell division<span>, a single </span>cell becomes two cells<span>. Those two </span>cells<span> divide into four, and the four </span>cells<span> divide into eight, and so on.</span>

What are the steps in filament theory
Inessa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The steps of the sliding filament theory are:

Muscle activation: breakdown of energy (ATP) by myosin.

Before contraction begins, myosin is only associated with a molecule of energy (ATP), which myosin breaks down into its component molecules (ADP + P) causing myosin to change shape.

Muscle contraction: cross-bridge formation

The shape change allows myosin to bind an adjacent actin, creating a cross-bridge.

Recharging: power (pulling) stroke

The cross-bridge formation causes myosin to release ADP+P, change shape, and to pull (slide) actin closer to the center of the myosin molecule.

Relaxaction: cross-bridge detachment

The completion of the pulling stroke further changes the shape of myosin. This allows myosin and ATP to bind, which causes myosin to release actin, destroying the cross-bridge. The cycle is now ready to begin again.

The repeated cycling through these steps generates force (i.e., step 2: cross-bridge formation) and changes in muscle length (i.e., step 3: power stroke), which are necessary to muscle contraction.

Whats the difference between genotype and phenotype.
Olegator [25]

\huge{\green}\fcolorbox{blue}{cyan}{\bf{\underline{\red{\color{red}Answer}}}}

  • The genotype is a set of genes in the DNA which are responsible for the unique trait or characteristics.
  • Whereas the phenotype is the physical appearance or characteristic of the organism.
  • Thus, we can find the human genetic code with the help of their genotype.
  • Organisms may look the same but still may not have the same genotype.
  • One can determine the genotype by the biological tests.
  • On the other hand, the phenotype is determined by an individual’s genotype and can be expressed as genes or by the visible traits.
  • Such traits are hair color or type, eye color body shape, and height, and many such more.
  • It will depend on the genotype but also influenced by the factors existing in the surrounding.

What type of molecule do plant cells use for long-term energy storage?
NemiM [27]
The answer is c. Starch.

During photosynthesis in the leaves of the plants, carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen using the energy of sunlight. The excess of glucose synthesized in photosynthesis is converted and stored as a starch which is than transported into storage organs where it will serve as a long-term energy storage.

Fat is used for long-term energy storage in animals, while ATP and ADP are short-term energy storage.
