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.
Answer:
A pollen tube grows from the pollen grain into the ovary
Explanation:
Water is needed for fertilization in several plant groups because the sperm needs to swim to meet the non-motile eggs of the female organs.
<em>However in angiosperms, the pollen germinates and a structure known as pollen tube which contains the male gametophyte (sperm) grows into the ovary where the ovule is located and the male gametophyte is deposited in the ovule to initiate the fertilization process.</em>
<em>Hence, water is really not necessary for fertilization in the angiosperms.</em>
Answer:
Hair root is 27 dicot is 33
The coral provides the algae with a protected safe environment (a home) and compounds they need for photosynthesis. The algae in return, produce oxygen and help the coral to remove wastes. Most importantly, zooxanthellae supply the coral with glucose, glycerol, and amino acids, which are the products of photosynthesis.
