Answer:

You will die.

Explanation:

All living organisms need carbohydrates for their cellular functions. When we consume carbohydrates, our bodies break down glucose in the mitochondria to make ATP. If your mitochondria stopped working you wouldn’t be able to convert the food you eat into ATP for cellular functions. All the cells in your body require a constant supply of energy. Without ATP, you will quickly experience fatigue. Not long after that your bodily systems will begin to shut down and you will die, because cells can’t function without energy.

Answer:

If your mitochondria fails then it will be extremely hard to covert the food into ATP. For cells that require a lot of energy like your muscles , the lack of ATP will cause you to start to fatigue. In extreme cases, infants die in the first year because no cell can work without energy.

F.Y.I ATP is just a fancy way of saying energy!

I believe that the best answer for this question is false. The individual who was the first to describe microbes was Antonie van Leeukwenhoek. He is considered to be the Father of Microbiology and the first microbiologist. Hook was actually his contemporary. I hope this helps.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

A) The striations are due to the orderly arrangement of actin and myosin

Explanation:

Smooth muscles are non-striated involuntary muscles which are found in the walls of stomach, urinary bladder, blood vessels...Smooth muscle tissue is composed of spindle-shaped muscle cells with single central nucleus. Like the other two type of muscles (cardiac and skeletal), smooth muscles also have four main functions:

Contractility-ability to contract. In the case of skeletal muscles it is voluntary, while in cardiac and smooth muscles it is unconscious.

Excitability-ability to change membrane potential usually by the influence of nervous impulse.

Extensibility-the capacity to lengthen

Elasticity-ability to change its length and then return to previous.
