A scientist is using a light microscope to observe a sample of muscle tissue. By analyzing the cellular structure and organizati
on of the muscle tissue, the scientist can identify which of these properties? A. the age of the donor
B. how frequently the muscle was used
C. whether the muscle was located in the arms, legs, or torso
D. whether the muscle moved the skeleton, the heart, or another type of internal organ
The correct answer is option D. "whether the muscle moved the skeleton, the heart, or another type of internal organ".
Explanation:
It is possible to determine whether a sample of muscle tissue moved the skeleton, the heart, or another type of internal organ by analyzing its cellular structure and organization. For instance cardiac muscle is striated and organized into sarcomeres, while smooth muscle that is located in organs such as intestines, uterus and stomach are not organized into sarcomeres.
