Answer:

The sodium–potassium pump is found in many cell (plasma) membranes. Powered by ATP, the pump moves sodium and potassium ions in opposite directions, each against its concentration gradient. In a single cycle of the pump, three sodium ions are extruded from and two potassium ions are imported into the cell

Which of the following best explains ways in which fish and mammals differ? (2 points)
VLD [36.1K]
The answer is <span>Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring.

Through the elimination process:
</span><span>* Fish are <u>invertebrates</u> and have scales and paired fins, while mammals are vertebrates and have fur or hair. - Fish are vertebrates!
</span><span>* Fish are <u>endothermic</u> and have gills, while mammals are <u>ectothermic</u> and have lungs. - Fish are ectothermic (cold-blooded), and mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded)!
</span>* <span>Fish have streamlined bodies and <u>three-chambered hearts</u>, while mammals are <u>bipedal</u> and have four-chambered hearts. - Fish have four chambered hearts and not all mammals are bipedal!

This leaves choice: </span><span>Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring. All of this is true, but it should be taken into consideration that some fish give live birth and some mammals lay eggs, but this is the most possible choice among all mentioned.</span>

Answer:

The answers are:

  1. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type A:    b. muscle fibers that help with a long sprint or carry a heavy object a short distance
  2. muscular strength:    d. the muscle's capacity to exert force against resistance
  3. Type 1 (slow twitch) muscle fibers:   a. muscle fibers responsible for endurance
  4. Muscle endurance:    c. refers to the ability to perform a specific muscular action for a prolonged amount of time.
  5. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type B:     e. muscle fibers used in short explosive movements such as jumping or lifting a very heavy weight one or two times.

Explanation:

Types of Skeletal Muscles:

Skeletal muscle are divided into two types:

  1. Slow Twitch (Type 1)
  2. Fast Twitch (Type 2)
  • Slow twitch muscles are the first ones to contract at times of exercise of strenuous physical activity. A compared to fast twitch muscle fibers, they contract slowly but can sustain contraction for a long time.
  • Fast twitch muscle fibers are divided into two subtypes: Type 2A and Type 2B.
  • Type 2A muscle fibers produce a high amount of force but they fatigue rapidly.
  • Type 2B muscle fibers, fire last, produce the most amount of force but wear out very rapidly.

Muscle Characteristics:

  • Muscle endurance is the muscle's ability to contract with force against a resistance for a prolonged time period.
  • Muscle strength is a measure of the amount of force a muscle can produce against resistance.
