Answer:

Chloroplast

its function is to create chemical energy using light energy

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts which can be compared to mitochondria because they both produce energy for the organism. The Chloroplast contains within it a pigment, chlorophyll which captures the sun's energy and turns into energy which is used to create other parts of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are one of the many organelles found in the body, and are generally considered to have originated as endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. In this aspect, they are similar to mitochondria but are found only in plants and protist.

The sternocleidomastoid muscles help to flex the neck. What are their antagonists

White raven [17]

Answer:

Trapezius.

Explanation:

Sternocleidomastoid muscles may be defined as one of the largest superficial cervical muscle. The main function of this muscle is the neck flexion and the head rotation.

Trapezius muscle is the large muscle that extend from the occipital bone. The main function of the trapezius muscle is the scapula movement and support of the arm. Trapezium muscle resist the neck flexion and works as the antagonist to the trapezius muscle.

Thus, the answer is trapezius.
