Balance is to maintain different elements in equal or in the correct proportions. Homeostasis is the process by which the body maintains constant levels of physiological elements such as blood sugars. This is done by balancing positive and negative feedback mechanisms.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Calculate the acceleration of a boat that has been cruising at 15 m/s but speeds up to 45 m/s in about 6 seconds. Don’t forget your units, m/s2. In order to calculate the acceleration of the boat we first have to identify the suited formula for acceleration in this scenario.

Hence, a = vf – vi / t. Vi = 15 m/s Vf = 45 m/s T = 6 seconds  

Solution:
A = 45 m/s – 15m/s / 6s
A = 5m/s^2

YES THAT FIRST SENTENCE IS VERY TRUE.YES, GENE DOPING IS USED BY MANY ATHLETES AROUND THE WORLD.IT CAUSES SEVERAL EFFECTS LIKE:
 a) increased extraordinary hematocrit
 b) increased thrombotic activity
 c) autoimmune anemia,ETC.
 ANY TWO GENETIC MODIFICATIONS THAT WOULD IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ATHLETE ARE:
 a.gene therapy should be given to produce more hormones in the body.
 b. gene therapy is given to athletes because they have been used to study and model cancer (the oncomouse), obesity, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, substance abuse, anxiety, aging and Parkinson disease to check for the athletes.

QUESTION 1
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

According to the sliding-filament model of contraction, the muscle contraction occur due to the myosin heads propel the actin myofilaments toward the center of the sarcomere. This pulls the Z disks closer together, shortening  sarcomere and the entire muscle

Explanation:

In the muscle fiber there are two proteins that facilitate the process of contraction, myosin and actin. Myosin is thicker and more abundant than actin, and its interaction is responsible for the process of muscle contraction.

Both molecules, myosin and actin, form bonds -called cross bridges- where the myosin heads produce the mobilization of actin towards the center of the sarcomere. Z discs are associated with actin myofibrils, so they come close, and promote the shortening of the sarcomere.

This process requires the action of calcium ions, which depolarize the muscle cell and consume energy in the form of ATP.

It should be noted that the myosin and actin molecules do not change their length, but their action causes the muscle fibers to shorten during contraction.
