Explain how it is that actin and myosin in the sarcomere never actually shorten and yet the muscle as a whole does.

Biology

Leni [432]3 years ago

Answer:

The muscle fibers are pulled by the myosin and sarcomere together, resulting in the shortening of the fibres, but the sarcomere and myosin just move.

Explanation:

During muscle contraction, each sarcomere shortens, bringing the Z discs close together. There is no change in the width of the A band but both I bands and the H zone almost completely disappear. These changes are explained by actin and myosin filaments sliding past one another, so that the actin filaments move into A band and H zone. Muscle contraction thus results from an interaction between the actin and the mosin filaments that generates their movement relative to one another. The molecular basis for this interaction is the binding of the myosin to actin filaments that generate their movement relative to one another.

How is laying eggs on land an evolutionary advantage for sea turtles and capelin
gregori [183]

1. Laying eggs on land reduces the chances of the eggs being predated on by predators in the seas and oceans.  

2. Temperatures are critical in the development of the yolk into an embryo and full turtle. Temperatures even determine the sex of the developing turtles. Land heats up more than water hence promotes faster development hence increases the survival of the offsprings.

A record of Earth's long-ago weather can be found by digging into the
Feliz [49]

Answer: Option A.

Polar ice cap in Antarctica.

Explanation:

Scientist drill ice cores from inside the polar ice cap in Antarctica to study variability of climate and differentiate that variability From global climate change. Each layer of the ice tells about weather and what the Earth was like when the first snow fell.

For example, Le grande says that as snow deposits into a growing glacier, the temperature of the air imprints on water molecules.

Icy layers hold particles,aerosols, sea salts, trace elements that were in the atmosphere before and they abide for thousands of years and provide evidence of past events.
