Elastic fibers are important to muscle tissue since they resist excessive stretching and help muscle fibers spring back to its o

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Elastic fibers are composed of elastin, myofibrils and fibrillin. They are distributed <u>separately</u>, and therefore do not form bundles(they actually form a kind of mesh), like collagen fibers.

Elastic fibers are usually thin and long and can stretch up to 1.5x of their total length.

These fibers confer elasticity to the connective tissue. The mesh formed of elastic fibers easily yields to minimal tensions, returning to its original shape as soon as the deforming forces cease.

An example of the action of elastic fibers is when we pull the skin from our hands and release it, the elastic fibers are responsible for quickly returning the skin to its original shape.

Which protein synthesis process comes first?<br> O Translation<br> O Transcription
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Transcription

Explanation:

First comes Transcription, then comes Translation.

For example, DNA comes first, RNA comes second, and Protein comes third which makes proteins last. So, during the DNA process, Replication occurs. After that, DNA hops over to RNA using Transcription, and after that RNA hops over to Protein using Translation. So, we look left to right. Now, when I listed everything, Transcription came first and Translation came second. There is your answer.

In what ways are autorhythmic fibers similar to and different from contractile fibers?
Leto [7]
I think Autorhythmic fibers are fibers that are self excitable or on their own for example some cardiac muscle. They  repeatedly generate action potentials that trigger heart contractions.They continue to stimulate a heart to beat even when it is removed from the body. In comparison to contractile fibers, autorhythmic fibers are self excitable and do not require nervous system stimulation to trigger contractions. Contractile fibers have stable resting membrane potentials of -90mV, when a contractile fibers reaches threshold by action potential, the voltage gated fast sodium ions channels will open.

How does a metallic bod differ from an ionic bond?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: In an ionic bond the valence electrons are transferred from the metal only to the neighboring nonmetal, but in metallic bonding the valence electrons of each atom/ion are free to move or float around within the entire metal solid.
