Describe the process of skeletal muscle contraction by assembling the following 10 events in the proper order in paragraph form.

Begin with an action potential traveling down a motor neuron to the neuromuscular junction and end with the muscle in its relaxed state. (5 points) 1) T and T system undergoes a conformational change, exposing the myosin binding sites on actin 2) myosin heads/cross bridges bind to actin and flex, shortening the sacromere 3) calcium ions bind to the T and T system 4) actin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sacromere, shortening the muscle fiber 5) muscle fiber is stimulated at the neuromuscular junction triggering an action potential 6) myosin head/cross-bridges bind to actin 7) APs travel down the T-tubules to the sarcoplasmic reticulum 8) in response to an AP, calcium ions are released into the cytosol/space around the myofibrils 9) calcium ions actively transported into the sarcoplasmic reticulum 10) myosin head continues to attach, flex, release, extend, and reattach as long as calcium ions are present

5) muscle fiber is stimulated at the neuromuscular junction triggering an action potential  

7) APs travel down the T-tubules to the sarcoplasmic reticulum  

Released acetylcholine (due to action potential within motor neuron) from the motor neuron initiates depolarisation within the sarcolemma, which is spread through the muscle fibre via T tubules.

8) in response to an AP, calcium ions are released into the cytosol/space around the myofibrils

Depolarisation causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions necessary for the contraction

3) calcium ions bind to the T and T system

1) T and T system undergoes a conformational change, exposing the myosin binding sites on actin  

6) myosin head/cross-bridges bind to actin

The binding sites for the myosin heads located on actin, are covered by a blocking complex (troponin and tropomyosin) that can be unblocked by the calcium binding

2) myosin heads/cross bridges bind to actin and flex, shortening the sacromere  

4) actin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sacromere, shortening the muscle fiber  

As the individual sarcomeres become shorten the muscle fibres as a whole contracts

10) myosin head continues to attach, flex, release, extend, and reattach as long as calcium ions are present

9) calcium ions actively transported into the sarcoplasmic reticulum  

Relaxation of a muscle fiber occurs when a Ca ions are pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum .

6. Applying Ideas: Suppose someone dumped left over motor oil on a driveway. Could this disposal
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

If they are looking for one BEST answer, it is the water.

If looking for top two, it is water and soil.

Realistically, however, this disposal can contaminate all 3.

Let me explain:

The motor oil that is dumped on a driveway first makes its way into the soil. The freshwater found in this soil becomes contaminated with motor oil and can eventually runoff into the ocean. Once this liquid evaporates, it then becomes air pollution. Shortest, best answer tho is water.

Hope this helps. Have a great day!

The actively dividing cells, or meristems, control plant growth. Primary (apical) meristems, the dividing tissue at the tips of the roots, grow longer roots, and secondary meristems, the dividing tissue seen in the cross-sections, grow thicker roots.

What are the two factors that define our traits?
coldgirl [10]

There are a few theories as to what defines our traits to create our personality

According to one such theory, Dan P. McAdams claims our personalities develop in <span>three </span>stages:

<span>Our genes cause genetic mutations forming a 'draft' personality.During our early upbringing, our parents, teachers and friends treat us differently based on our looks and draft personality.Once we are older we then form a narrative of our lives based on our experiences growing up, and make decisions consistent with the character we have created.</span>

So our traits started from slight genetic variances, which effected how we were treated, which then shapes our own self-narrative. So really, our personality is one big story that we tell ourselves, and our childhood was the prologue to that story.

Urgent please help!!!!!
antiseptic1488 [7]
I think the answer is most likely be J.

The first (F) one the population of the predator increases hugely while the population of the prey was neutral. And so both population didn’t seem to have any connection. Same goes for H. Graph G doesn’t make sense at all the population of the prey didn’t exist throughout the time in the graph but only exist in one single point of time and then just vanish again so that shouldn’t be the answer either.
In graph J, you can see the correlation between the two populations as the predator goes up and so does the prey.
You can search up on google predator-prey relationship graph to get better understanding.
