Flura [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B. Absorption

Explanation:

  • Absorption is a process that takes place in the small intestines or ileum of the GI tract, in which simple and soluble nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream.
  • Absorption is enhanced by several adaptations of the gut such as large surface area of the gut which directly facilitates absorption of nutrients.
  • Presence of villi and microvilli in the gut increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients in the ileum.

Mercury contamination is a concern with every type of fish.
Svetlanka [38]
<span>This is actually a true statement. However, there are relative amounts of mercury that are higher in some species and lower in others. Eating fish in moderate amounts and being cognizant of the relative amounts in different varieties (more in shark and tuna, while less in crab and lobster) can help a person make smarter choices.</span>

Plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber - _________Extension of the sarcolemma that dives into the muscle fiber and surrounds
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

1. Sarcolemma

2. T-Tubule

3. Sarcoplasmic reticulum

4. Terminal Cisternae

5. Myofibrils

6. Myofilament

7.Thick filament

8. Thin filament

Explanation:

These are all parts of the skeletal muscle and they are all involved in the contraction of your muslces.

The sacrolemma is also known as the myolemma. It is a specialized plasma membrane of the skeletal muscle cell. It is an excitable membrane that shares similarities to the cell membrane of a neuron cell.

The T-tubule extends from the sarcolemma to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). This is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of the muscle cell. When the sarcolemma gets excited, it triggers the SR to release the calcium ions stored in it. The release of Calcium ions triggers the contraction of myofilaments.

There are two types of myofilaments, the thick myofilament and the thin myofilament. These myofilaments contain contractile proteins, actin and myosin. Thick myofilaments contain myosin where one thick myofilament contains 300 myosin molecules. Thin myofilaments contain contractile and regulatory proteins. These myofilamens make up myofibrils.
