How does electrocution cause rigid paralysis?

Biology
1 answer:
jeyben [28]3 years ago
7 0

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:

A circular molecule of DNA contains 1 million base pairs. If the DNA synthesis at a replication fork occurs at a rate of 100,000
lakkis [162]

Answer:

<h2>5 minutes </h2>

Explanation:

1. In bidirectional replication;  there are two replication forks, and each proceeding at a rate of 100,000 (as given in the question) nucleotides per minute.  

2. So, by  the given rate of replication, we can calculate that, it would require 5 minutes for the circular DNA molecule to be replicated by bidirectional replication because each fork synthesize  500,000 nucleotides in 5 minutes ( 100,000 per minute) ( as given, in 5 minutes × 100,000 nucleotides per minute= 500,000 and by 2 forks= 1,000,000) within the time period.
