"Skeletal muscle, also called voluntary muscle, in vertebrates, most common of the three types of muscle in the body. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Similar to cardiac muscle, however, skeletal muscle is striated; its long, thin, multinucleated fibres are crossed with a regular pattern of fine red and white lines, giving the muscle a distinctive appearance. Skeletal muscle fibres are bound together by connective tissue and communicate with nerves and blood vessels."

Which statement is an example of parasitism? A. Psuedoscorpions hide under beetles’ wings for protection and transport. B. Wasps
sladkih [1.3K]

Wasps laying eggs inside hornworms and after the eggs hatch, the wasp larvae feed on the hornworm is the example of parasitism.

Explanation:

There are five types of relationships in an ecosystem. One of the relationships is parasitism. When we define ecosystem, we talk about the kind of interaction that there is between two or more different species.

Parasitism is the type of interaction between two species, in which one species, most likely a parasite, latches itself onto the other species. That other species then becomes a host to the parasite. After latching itself, it becomes dependent on it's host for resources like food and shelter. But, in this type of relationship, the host species is harmed for resources while the parasite species gains strength over time.

Label the main steps in the cellular respiration model?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Step 1: Glycolysis. In glycolysis, glucose—a six-carbon sugar—undergoes a series of chemical transformations. In the end, it gets converted into two molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon organic molecule. In these reactions, ATP is made, and \text{NAD}^+NAD  +  N, A, D, superscript is converted to {NADH}NADHN, A, D, H.

Step 2:Pyruvate oxidation. Each pyruvate from glycolysis goes into the mitochondrial matrix—the innermost compartment of mitochondria. There, it’s converted into a two-carbon molecule bound to Co-enzyme A, known as acetyl CoA. Carbon dioxide is released and NADH is generated.

Step 3:Citric acid cycle. The acetyl CoA made in the last step combines with a four carbon molecule and goes through a cycle or reaction, ultimately regenerating the four carbon starting molecule.
