Skeletal muscle support and Movement. Skeletal muscles move the body. Skeletal muscle contractions pull on tendons, which are attached to bones. If contraction of the muscle causes the muscle to shorten, the bone and, thus, the body part will move. so your answer is D

Hi Mimi9758,

Keep in mind that when speaking of muscle (I'm assuming in a mammal) there are three types:

skeletal muscle
smooth muscle
cardiac muscle

skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, smooth muscle in under autonomic control, and cardiac muscle is under the control of the pace-maker cells of the sinoatrial (SA) or the atrioventricular (AV) node

So, marching down through these:

A) moves food and substances through the GI tract - this would be SMOOTH muscle

B) helps maintain body posture - this would be SKELETAL muscle

C) promotes the flow of lymph - tricky... this would also be the SKELETAL muscles: contraction of skeletal muscles "squeezes" the fluid in the lymphatics, which ultimately drain into the venous system

D) moves the bones of the skeleton: this would be SKELETAL muscle

E: helps to adjust blood vessel diameter: this would be SMOOTH muscle

So, the correct answers would be: B, C, and D

Hope this helps!

Good luck

Explain how mutations in the photoreceptor genes result in different vision defects.
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The human eye is the prime organ of the body, which associates with the photons of light and allows one to see various things. The unique cells found in retina, which does activity of seeing are cones and rods cells. Rods help to see in dim light vision, while on the other hand, cone cells are unique in recognizing different colors.  

These cells comprise photoreceptor proteins that help in trapping photons at particular wavelength. Mutation in the gene encrypting for these proteins results in permanent or temporary vision issues. The extremity of defects relies upon the degree to which mutation takes place.  

The mutation in rod cells photoreceptor proteins leads to night blindness and retinitis pigmentosa. Retinitis pigmentosa refers to an inherited disorder that takes place because of early loss of rod cell, which destructs retina. On the other hand, night blindness does not mean complete blindness night, however, inadequate tendency to see in low light.  

Identically, the mutation in the cone cell also results in vision issues, known as red color blindness and tritanopia. Tritanopia refers to a kind of color blindness, which originates because of insensitivity of blue receiving protein gene towards blue light. On the other hand, red color blindness refers to insensitivity of red receiving cone cells in captivating long-wavelength photons.
