Biology
1 answer:
jeyben [28]3 years ago

Answer:

Muscles are stimulated by electricity. The effect depends on the intensity of the current and the type of muscle it travels through.

The victim may be unable to let go of the source of the current, making the duration of the contact longer and increasing the severity of the shock.

When a current above 10 mA travels through extensor muscles, it causes a violent spasm. If the muscles affected are the hip extensors that lengthen the limbs away from the body, the victim may be propelled, sometimes many metres away!

Muscles, ligaments and tendons may tear as a result of the sudden contraction caused by an electric shock. Tissue can also be burned if the shock is lasting or the current is high.planation:

What are the four carbon macromolecules the body uses and makes?
aliya0001 [1]

Living things are made of types of molecules, known as macromolecules.

There are four major classes of biological macromolecules:

carbohydrates

lipids

proteins

nucleic acids

Each of these types of macromolecules performs a wide array of important functions within the cell; a cell cannot perform its role within the body without many different types of these crucial molecules. In combination, these biological macromolecules make up the majority of a cell’s dry mass. (Water molecules make up the majority of a cell’s total mass.) All the molecules both inside and outside of cells are situated in a water-based (i.e., aqueous) environment, and all the reactions of biological systems are occurring in that same environment.
