Extracellular calcium ions are important for the contraction of what type(s) of muscle tissue?

1 answer:

8 0

Extracellular calcium is important for the contraction of smooth muscle tissue as well as the cardiac muscle tissue. Both smooth muscles and cardiac muscles do not have the sarcoplasmic reticulum and t-tubule system found in skeletal muscles where calcium ions are stored for the initiation of excitation contraction coupling. In smooth muscles and cardiac muscles, calcium comes from the extracellular space which triggers the excitation contraction coupling.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

In gram-negative bacteria, the thin layer of peptidoglycan is surrounded by an outer membrane made of phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides, and proteins. This statement accurately describes specific bacterial cell walls.

Explanation:

The Gram- negative bacteria constitute of an outer membrane which is richly made up of lipopolysaccharides, phopholipids and proteins. The lipopolysaccharides function mainly as a virulence factor and are involved in causing variety of diseases in animals.

Gram- negative bacteria can be seperated from gram- positive bacteria mainly because of the thickness of peptidoglycan and by the presence of the outer membrane of Gram- negative bacteria. The outer membrane is absent in Gram- positive bacteria.

Which are typical pioneer species during primary succession?

JulijaS [17]

Answer & explanation:

Primary succession occurs in environments that did not have biological communities in place and present unfavorable conditions for the establishment of life. Examples of these sites are rocks, dunes and newly solidified lava pits.

The pioneer organisms in primary succession are mainly producers and some decomposers.

In <u>dune</u> <u>environments</u>, for example, there are grasses, whose seeds are wind-borne and able to withstand excessive heat, water scarcity and unstable soil, and their roots are firm, preventing these plants from being harmed by the wind.

Sites with <u>rocky</u> <u>surfaces</u> can be colonized by photosynthetic bacteria, fungi or some species of algae. These organisms release substances that alter the substrate, allowing the installation of new species over time.

Student 2 is correct and the same group of worms should be used.

<h3>What is an experiment?</h3>

An experiment is the process by which we establish cause and effect relationships in science. The control variable are those that must be kept the same in the experiment.

We know that the experiment will only be valid if the research is carried out with the same group of worms. If different groups of worms are used, other factors may account for the results obtained.

Thus student 2 is correct and the same group of worms should be used.
