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.

Why do fluctuations in abiotic cycles have an impact on living organisms and on ecosystems as a whole?
Greeley [361]

<u>Answer:</u>

The fluctuations that are present  in abiotic cycles have an impact on living organisms and on ecosystems as a whole because any system that is present in a community requires the support of abiotic system

The materials that are present in an environment require the involvement of both biotic and abiotic system. The biotic community comprises of the living organisms that coexists in an ecosystem whereas abiotic factors are the non-living factors that influences the living of organisms in an ecosystem.

evaluate whether having sickle cell disease would be advantageous or disadvantageous to a person living in central africa
poizon [28]
It's something to do with the fact that having sickle cell anaemia reduces the chances of contracting malaria, obviously a very common disease in Africa. I'm not quite sure what the link is but hopefully this helps a little bit?

Some protozoans have special organelles called contractile vacuoles that continually eliminate excess water from the cell. the p
Olenka [21]

Answer is hypertonic.

The ability of an extracellular solution to make water move into or out of a cell by osmosis is known as its tonicity. Tonicity is concern for all living things, especially in in organisms lacking cell wall, <em>Paramecium</em> is one such protozoan. It has specialized structures called contractile vacuoles. A contractile vacuole collects excess water from the cell and release it out, keeping the cell from lysing as it takes on water from extracellular environment which hypotonic (a lower osmolarity than the cell’s cytoplasm) as compared to hypertonic environment inside <em>Paramecium</em>.
