Answer:

e. bind to troponin which moves the tropomyosin.

Explanation:

Troponin (Tn) is a protein complex composed of three different proteins: troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI), and troponin T (TnT). This complex is found both in skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles, where TnC attaches calcium ions through four and three calcium ion-binding sites, respectively. When a muscle is relaxed, Tn attaches to tropomyosin to prevent muscle contraction. During muscle contraction, calcium channels open and cytosolic calcium ions bind to TnC, thereby Tn changes its conformation and moves the tropomyosin. This process relieves the inhibition of the interaction between actin and myosin filaments, which makes muscle contraction possible.

What is the appropriate technique to stimulate a baby to breathe?
alukav5142 [94]
One can stimulate a baby to breathe by slapping  his butt or by flicking the soles of his feet. This is normally done in order to stimulate a baby to take his first breath through the process of crying. Crying will force the baby to take his first breath and at the same time, it will enable the lungs and the airways to be cleared of liquid substances.

Scientists always identify biodiversity hotspots by counting the number of endemic species.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-true.

Explanation:

Biodiversity hotspots are the regions which can be identified by a high level of endemism and high level of habitat loss. The concept of the hotspot was given by the British ecologist Norman Myers in 1988 when he observed such areas.

Since a region to be established as a biological hotspot fulfils two criteria:

1. Area should have at least 1500 unique vascular plant species found nowhere on Earth

2. Should have lost at least 70% of its native vegetation  

Therefore, a scientist identity a hotspot by counting a number of endemic species and option-true is the correct answer.

If the knee was held rigid and the biceps femoris contracted, what movement would occur
stich3 [128]

Answer and Explanation:

The femoral biceps is one of the hamstrings. These muscles are located in the back of the thigh and are the most important knee flexors.

In addition, the biceps have the ability to extend the thigh over the pelvis and rotate the hip laterally. This is because it has a muscular belly that originates from the hip, more precisely in the ischial tuberosity of the ischium.

When the biceps are contracted, its most important function is to contract the knee, but if it remains rigid its function will be mainly the extension of the thigh.
