Biology

IrinaVladis [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct option is this: CARDIAC MUSCLE DOES NOT USE THE SLIDING FILAMENT MECHANISM FOR CONTRACTION, SKELETAL MUSCLE DOES.

Explanation:

The muscles found in the heart are called cardiac muscles while the ones found in the skeleton are called skeletal muscles. Both muscles have some differences and similarities. One similarity between the two is that both of them are striated muscles. Also, both cardiac and skeletal muscles use the sliding filament mechanism for contraction.

The differences include the following:

1. Skeletal muscles are involved in voluntary movement while cardiac muscles engage in involuntary movement.

2. Cardiac muscles can not survive for long in the absence of oxygen while skeletal muscle can adapt to absence of oxygen.

3. Cardiac muscles cell have more mitochondria compare to skeletal muscles cells.

Which of the following is an example of potential rather than kinetic energy?
choli [55]

Answer:

D. A molecule of glucose

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy that is stored, or conserved, in an object or substance. The act of contracting muscles, emitting light flashes, flying or water moving are all dissipating energy and, thus, do not represent an example of kinetic energy. On the other hand, a molecule of glucose stores energy and therefore is an example of potential energy.

Suppose a bulldozer is being hauled at 50 km/h to a construction site on the back of a flatbed truck. From which reference point
inysia [295]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. the truck driver.

Any object is said to be the motion if its relative distance with respect to a reference point is keep on changing.

For example, a kid travelling through a train might seem to be stationary with respect to the seat. However, he would seem to be moving if we see him in respect to the railway track outside the train.

A reference point is anything (place, person or any object) used to determine if something or someone is in motion.

In the given situation, the distance between truck driver and bulldozer will remain the same throughout the journey as it is being placed on the back of the truck. Hence, the correct answer is truck driver.
