<h2>Answer:</h2>

Antagonistic.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
  • Muscles generally work in groups or pairs.
  • Muscles are connected to bones via tendons, these tendons and muscles help in movement of a joint.
  • When a muscle is put in contraction, usually only one bone moves.  For example on contraction of biceps of the arm contracts then the radius moves but the scapula does not move.
  • This type of muscle action is called antagonistic muscle action. In which the muscle which is working is called the prime mover or agonist and the relaxing muscle is called the antagonist.  

Result: The muscle action in which a muscle works against another muscle is called antagonistic.

Answer:

During exercise your cells need energy to function. in order to do so they harness it through ATP. In order to get ATP the cells convert it to ADP usually through aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to function and the cells will use up all their oxygen stores for it. Cells will get more oxygen when the exercise has been completed through the pulmonary system delivering oxygenated blood to the cells and taking away the used CO2 rich blood.

Proteins and nucleic acids both play vital roles in the structure and function of cells.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Part A: Proteins are made from amino acid monomers. There are 20 different types of amino acids which make up all the proteins of the body. The amino acids are made up of a carbon atom which is joined to an amino group, a carboxyl group and a variant group, known as R. Nucleic acids are made up of 5 carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases.  Hence, nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides.

Part B: Protiens are important molecule which carry out various functions of the body. They are involved in regulation of various body process. Some proteins are involved in the transportation of various molecules. Other type of proteins are involved in various immune functions and hence protect the body. For example, antibodies are proteins which defend the body against pathogens.

Nucleic acids are involved in the storing and expressing of genetic information. They also direct the body for protein synthesis.

Proteins on the surface of vesicles determine where the vesicles go. Which cell organelle provides the instructions for these pr
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

D. Nucleus.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the structural, fundamental, biological and functional unit of life. Cells are found in all living organisms because they are the basic unit of life. A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

Some examples of cell organelles found in all living organisms such as trees, birds, and bacteria include; nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, etc.

Proteins on the surface of vesicles determine where the vesicles go.

The nucleus is the cell organelle which provides the instructions for these proteins. It controls all the activities taking place in the cell and the synthesis of proteins.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The two major phases of the cell cycle include mitosis (cell division), and interphase, when the cell grows and performs all of its normal functions. Interphase is further subdivided into G1, S, and G2 phases. After the synthesis phase, the cell proceeds through the G2 phase.
