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.

Describe the growth and development process of a typical annual plant
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The plants grow and bloom during the cool season when most other plants are dormant or other annuals are in seed form waiting for warmer weather to germinate. Winter annuals die after flowering and setting seed. The seeds germinate in the autumn or winter when the soil temperature is cool.

How are sex-linked traits inherited?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer;

Alleles are passed from the parents’ sex chromosomes to the sex chromosomes in the offspring.


Explanation;

-Sex linked traits are traits that are carried by the sex chromosomes and inherited together.

-Gene exists in alternative forms called alleles and each allele for a trait is inherited from each parent.

-Sex traits, like the other traits, are passed from parents to off spring through the process of sexual reproduction.

¿Cual de las siguientes especies se reproduce por fecundación interna ?
Alexxandr [17]

Which of the following species reproduces by internal fertilization?

a) cats

(b) Toads

(c) The fish

(d) alternative b and c

Answer:

(a) Los gatos

Explanation:

Only cats are capable of internal fertilization from the given choices above.

Internal fertilization is the fusion of gametes within an organism. This process occurs during sexual reproduction within the female.

  • Toads and fishes exhibit external fertilization.
  • External fertilization occurs where the male sperm externally fertilizes the eggs of the female.
  • This usually takes place in a moist or wet place especially water bodies. The liquid medium will transport the sperm to the egg.

In cats, the female specie takes in reproductive cells from the male during coitus and it fertilizes the her eggs to produce a zygote.
