Answer: Option D.

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, and the atoms and molecules of the

table are not moving.

Explanation:

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, and the atoms and molecules of the table are not moving and this is because the atoms and molecules of liquid water are closely packed together and they collide to each other often, thereby moving in random motion in all directions.

The molecules of solid cannot move because they are closely packed together and there is a very strong of attraction which make them to only vibrate and not move and this make solid to have definite shape.

Describe how humans’ way of life has changed. Begin with hunter-gatherers and end with life after the Industrial Revolution.

iragen [17]

Answer:

Ever since the existence of life of humans on Earth, the humans have been making progress to understand themselves and the mother nature.

In the start, the humans were hunter- gatherers. Hunter- gatherers can be described as humans which use wild life plants and animals for food. The humans used to live in jungles and eat the wild- life plants and animals. They used leaves from the trees to cover their bodies. Heat was produced by rubbing the rocks.

After this time, the humans learned the techniques of cultivating plants for food. They started cultivating crops and depend on them for living. During this time, humans learned the art of farming and agriculture. But they couldn't understand the effects of various pathogens infecting the crops and humans at that time.

After this time, humans learned the art of preserving foods in different forms like pickles etc. They also learned that certain types of plants could be used to treat wounds and other diseases.

With the passage of time, people learned to make and use machinery for making their tasks easier. The usage of machinery progressed rapidly and the industrial revolution began. People became more diverted to this sector rather than farming. They started to move towards the cities to find better jobs in industries.

Life after industrial revolution was much easier as humans had made a lot of equipments which aid them to have a better life style. Science has been developing since that time day by day.

What is a microscope

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects, such as mineral samples or animal or plant cells, typically magnified several hundred times.A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Microscopy is the science of investigating small objects and structures using a microscope. Microscopic means being invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope.

Power stroke (myosin head bends) coupled with the release of ADP and phosphate, ATP hydrolyzed to ADP and Phosphate and the Myos

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Power stroke (myosin head bends) coupled with the release of ADP and phosphate

Explanation:

Muscle contraction results from myosin heads adhering to actin and attracting it inwards. It uses ATP. Myosin adhers to actin at a binding site of its globular actin protein and adheres at another binding site for ATP (hydrolyzed ATP to ADP, Pi and energy)

ATP binding prompts myosin to detach from actin, ATP is changed to ADP and inorganic phosphate, Pi by ATPase. The energy formed at this process orientates myosin head to a “cocked” direction.

The myosin head goes in the direction of the M line, holding the actin with it in the process causing the filaments to orientate nearly 10 nm in the direction of the M line--- power stroke (force is produced), the sarcomere reduces in length and the muscle contracts.

Note: The power stroke is seen when ADP and phosphate disattaches itself from the myosin head.

At the terminal point of the power stroke, the myosin head as low-energy, followed by ADP release.

The attached image shows the cross-bridge muscle contraction cycle, which is activated by Ca2+ sticking to the actin active site. And how actin moves in relation to myosin.
