Answer:

A. The muscle would not contract.

Explanation:

The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum that transmits electrical impulses and is the primary regulator of calcium storage, release, and reuptake. On the other hand, glycolysis and the mitochondria are responsible for cellular ATP production.

In the muscle, the SR and mitochondrial function are interconnected, ATP is used to lower myoplasmic calcium levels during muscle relaxation, this means that muscle contractility is linked to the control of sarcomeric Ca2+ delivery/removal and ATP generation/utilization.<em> If we have a failure to remove Ca2+ from the cytosol by not producing ATP, the muscle will be prevented from relaxation, subsequently there will be a decrease in muscle contraction too.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Calculate the molarity of the two solutions.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

A = Molarity = 0.22 M

B = Molarity = 0.36 M

Explanation:

Given data:

For first solution:

number of moles = 0.550 mol

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity = ?

Molarity:

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L.

Molarity = 0.550 mol / 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.22 M

For second solution:

Mass of NaCl =  15.7 g

Volume of solution = 709 mL  or 709/1000 = 0.709 L

Molarity = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 14.7 g/ 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.252 mol

Molarity:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L.

Molarity = 0.252 mol / 0.709 L

Molarity = 0.36 M

423.3 mL of gas is at 49.2 C. It is compressed to a volume of 79 mL. What is the new temperture. Express your answer in Kelvin.
zzz [600]

Answer: 60.1K

Explanation:

Initial volume of gas V1 = 423.3mL

Initial temperature T1 = 49.2°C

Convert temperature in Celsius to Kelvin

( 49.2°C + 273 = 322.2K)

Final temperature T2 = ?

Final volume V2 = 79mL

According to Charle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

Mathematically, Charles' Law is expressed as: V1/T1 = V2/T2

423.3mL/322.2 = 79mL/T2

To get the value of T2, cross multiply

423.3mL x T2 = 322.2K x 79mL

423.3mL x T2 = 25453.8

T2 = (25453.8/423.3mL)

T2 = 60.1K

Thus, the new temperature of the gas is 60.1K

Write down your understanding of plate tectonics.
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.
