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.

leonid [27]

Answer:

The introns of protein-encoding nuclear genes of higher eukaryotes almost invariably begin (5') with GT and end (3') with AG. In addition, the 3'subterminal A in the “TACTAAC box” is completely conserved; this A is involved in bond formation during intron excision.

Answer:

Parasitism

Explanation:

This is because parasitism is a type of relationship that exist between organisms where one which is the predator feed on the prey thereby causing harm or injury or death to the prey. In the question, small frogs are the predators and insects are the prey, therefore the predators cause harm to the prey, meaning they only benefits from the farm they cause the prey.

eduard

Answer:

Vulvodynia

Explanation:

Vulvodynia is the medical term used to describe a chronic condition of long-lasting, severe pain around the vaginal orifice, which feels raw. Medically, the severe pain lasts for at least three months either constantly or occasionally. The pain could be generalized throughout the entire vulva or localized to a certain area of the vagina like the opening of the vagina.

Vulvodynia is usually doesn't have an identifiable cause, because it usually not traced to an infection.
