Answer:

Pressure gradient

Explanation:

The change in pressure measured across a given distance is called a "pressure gradient". The pressure gradient results in a net force that is directed from high to low pressure and this force is called the "pressure gradient force". The pressure gradient force is responsible for triggering the initial movement of air

Goiters may occur due to iodine insufficiency, but other causes are possible. Which of the following would NOT tend to result in
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Thyroid is primarily caused by lack of iodine but there are other reasons as well that lead to increased size of the thyroid gland. Some of these reason is

a) over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones

b) Nodules in the glans

Some times, due to overstimulation immune system itself attack the thyroid gland thereby producing excess thyroxine and hence causing  the thyroid to swell

Thus, Option A is correct

Cross bridge formation between myosin heads and actin molecules is caused by the elevation of calcium ion concentration in the c
almond37 [142]

Answer:

sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped

Explanation:

Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.

All organisms must perform life-sustaining metabolic processes in order to survive.
Alik [6]

Explanation:

  • Unicellular organisms or single celled organisms that are made up only of one cell. Hence the name.
  • Unicellular organisms are further divided into Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic organisms
  • Examples of prokaryotic organisms are bacteria and Eukaryotic are protozoa and unicellular algae, however many eukaryotes are multi cellular as well.
  • These organisms have to carry out life sustaining metabolic processes for their survival.
  • These processes are metabolism, homeostasis and reproduction. Metabolism is important as it involves conversion of food into energy for cellular processes. Homeostasis for maintaining a constant internal physical and chemical conditions and reproduction is by cell division.
  • Multi cellular organisms as the name says unlike unicellular organisms consists of more than one cells.
  • Examples of multi cellular organisms are animals, land plants etc.,
  • Metabolic process in multi cellular organisms is a broad category of processes happening for these organisms which involves chemical reactions and pathways that happen at organismal state, transporting substances between the cells.
