Answer

Frequency of stimulus can change the force of muscle twitch.

Explanation

Twitch is tension produced by the contraction of a small muscle or it is muscle fasciculation. Its strength depends on the stimulation frequency. If the frequency is higher then temporal summation takes place and produce higher tension in the muscle. If the frequency is weak then less tension is produced in the muscle. This force also depends on the cross-sectional area of muscle.

Force of muscle twitch varies according to the total number of motor units as well as the net amount of contractional force and pull required.

Explanation:

The contraction in the muscle that takes place due to the single action potential travelling down the motor neuron of a muscle fiber which leads to a muscle twitch. A motor neuron (alpha) innervates and branches into the muscle fibers (skeletal) and together forms a motor unit.

Depending upon the size of this motor unit, the force of muscle contractions vary. In areas which undergo fine coordinated movements like eye muscle contraction, finger contraction, etc which encompasses smaller motor units, the force of contraction is lower. In areas like the legs and back, where the motor units are more, the force of contraction is higher.

The force and the tension pull experienced and exerted by the muscle vary depending upon the movement required. The muscle twitches are classified according to the force of contraction – fast (high force-short duration), slow (low force long duration) and intermediate twitch (fast and slow).

olga2289 [7]

New data about evolutionary relationship between organisms

Explanation:

New data about the evolutionary relationship between organisms most likely dictated that the domain level is adopted.

  • Evolutionary trends and morphological relationship between organisms became very important in the classification system.

Organisms are classified into the domain levels as:

  1. Archaea,
  2. Bacteria,
  3. Eukarya

This classification is based on the sequences of nucleotides in the cell.

This would have nothing to do with the DNA it's self, and also protein has nothing to do with it also.<span>Nucleic Acid would be small particals in the cells that would consists of molecules would some sort of chain which would then lead to the DNA, but it would actually have not resemblance of the nucleic acid at any point.

AlladinOne [14]

Nitrogen is returned to the atmosphere during the nitrogen cycle in a process referred to as denitrification.

<h3>What is denitrification?</h3>

It is a process whereby nitrogen becomes mineralized from nitrogenous compounds. In other words, it is the reduction of nitrates to produce elemental nitrogen which is returned to the atmosphere.

Denitrification is a microorganisms-driven process. The nitrates are made to pass through a series of reactions with intermediate products before finally leading to the production of elemental nitrogen.

What is periderm and protoderm and where do they originate from in a new plant ?
Sati [7]
Periderm is the corky outer layer of a plant stem which the plant creates as a result of an injury or infection so as to protect itself further. Protoderm is the thin layer which covers embryos, as well as the root and stems, and later produces epidermis, which is the outer layer of tissue of plants (anywhere where periderm doesn't cover them).
