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!

Elena-2011 [213]
In a solution, a SOLUTE is the substance being dissolved.

In a solution, a SOLVENT is the substance in which something is dissolved.

For example in salt water, the salt is the solute. And the water is the solvent. Usually, which substance has a larger amount in the solution can be called a solvent. It doesn't matter if it's a gas, solid, or liquid. They can all be solute or solvents.

A current of 1.41 A in a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field of 5.61 uT at a certain distance from the wire. Find
pshichka [43]

Answer:

0.050 m

Explanation:

The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0=4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m is the vacuum permeability

I is the current in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

And the magnetic field around the wire forms concentric circles, and it is tangential to the circles.

In this problem, we have:

I=1.41 A (current in the wire)

B=5.61\mu T=5.61\cdot 10^{-6} T (strength of magnetic field)

Solving  for r, we find the distance  from the wire:

r=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi B}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(1.41)}{2\pi (5.61\cdot 10^{-6})}=0.050 m

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

I think they cross the line when they force sports into their child's life, and take away their choice of what they want to do so they essentially waste their childhood preparing for something that may never happen or they just don't get the opportunity to explore their artistic abilities.
