Excitation-contraction coupling refers to the series of events that begins with the excitation of the sarcolemma in response to stimulation by a neurotransmitter, and results in the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Hence, option D is the 1st process that starts the excitation-contraction coupling.
Answer:
A) The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular
respiration.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose, so that cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide.
During a dehydration reaction, two monomer molecules are covalently bonded to each other, with the loss of a water molecule. In this reaction, each monomer contributes part of the water molecule that is released during the reaction. This reaction is repeated as monomers are added to the chain one by one, making a polymer.
Answer: Option A.
Cause clot dissolution to proceed faster.
Explanation:
Plasminogen activator is a substance that activates plasminogen to plasmin. Plasminogen activator is a serine proteases which catalyze the activation of plasminogen. The damaged blood tissue releases tissue plasminogen. The plasmin is important to break fibrin polymers that is formed during clotting of the blood. Increased plasminogen levels cause blood clots to dissolve faster.
