Hi!
The correct answer would be: the width of I-bands
The sacromere is the smallest contractile unit of striated muscles. These units comprise of filaments (fibrous proteins) that, upon muscle contraction or relaxation, slide past each other. The sacromere consists of thick filaments (myosin) and thin filaments (actin).
<em>Refer to the attached picture to clearly see the structure of a sacromere.</em>
<u>When a sacromere contracts, a series of changes take place which include:</u>
<em>- Shortening of I band, and consequently the H zone</em>
<em>- The A line remains unchanged</em>
<em>- Z lines come closer to each other (and this is due to the shortening of the I bands) </em>
The only changes that take place occur in the zones/areas in the sacromere (as mentioned), not in the filaments (actin and myosin) that make the up the sacromere; hence all other options are wrong.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
A) 854.46 kPa
Explanation:
P₁ = initial pressure of the gas = 400 kPa
P₂ = final pressure of the gas = ?
T₁ = initial temperature of the gas = 110 K
T₂ = final temperature of the gas = 235 K
Using the equation
Inserting the values
P₂ = 854.46 kPa
