Answer:

1. Weaker contraction:

a. Potassium accumulate in the sarcoplasm

d. Begin contractions with muscle already 50% contraction

e. Lower sarcoplasm pH

g. Circular arrangement of muscle fascicles

2. Stronger Contraction

b. Increase in muscle belly circumference

c. Lesser proportion of motor neurons to muscle fibres

f. Increased stimulus frequency.

h. increased requirement.

Explanation:

Sarcoplasm refers to the cytoplasm of muscle cells which contains ATP, enzymes, and a variety of ions, including potassium (K+). The negative potential required during muscle activity is produced from the disequilibrium of ionic concentrations (mostly Na+ and K+) across the membrane, which is generated through Na+/K+ ATPase pumps. During contraction, a muscle shortens, and thus its circumference increases. The generation of lactic acid is known to lower pH in the sarcoplasm and thus hinder the force and power development of the muscle fibers. Muscle fascicles can be arranged in concentric rings, it is a common pattern in sphincter muscles that modulate the opening and closing of orifices (which have weak contractions). A motor unit refers to a single efferent neuron and all of the muscle fibers it modulates. Each individual muscle fiber is innervated by one motor neuron, whereas a single motor neuron can innervate many muscle fibers. Finally, higher intensity/frequency are known to induce stronger muscular contractions, but also produce a stronger decline in force and cause more rapid muscle fatigue.

Gaseous
because it’s form isn’t in a state where it can be referred to a liquid. It is a vapour which is in the process of evaporation therefore, the best term is gaseous.

Organisms leave a population when they _____. immigrate reproduce compete emigrate
enyata [817]
The answer is: emigrate.

An emigration is a movement of organisms from the region of settle. So, when organisms leave a population, they emigrate.

An immigration is the opposite process of the emigration in which organism move to some area. <span>Competition is an interaction between members of the same species or between different species in which they compete for resources. Reproduction is a process of production of new organisms.</span>
