Answer:

isometric contraction

Explanation:

Isometric contraction is a class of contraction where the muscle maintains a constant length as tension is produced, thereby the length of the muscles does not change during this process. Isometric contractions are performed without joint motion. They are appropriate for the rehabilitation of musculotendinous traumas due the muscle maintains a static position and contraction intensity can be controlled. This type of contraction is common for the muscles in the hands and arms.

Answer:

E. glucosuria (glucose in the urine)

Explanation:

Generally, glycosuria occurs in patients with kidney changes due to diseases such as Wilson's disease or cystinosis, can also be a hereditary problem, but is not expected in patients with kidney damage caused by prolonged lithium use.

Normally, the kidneys filter the blood, eliminating all substances that are not necessary for the body to function, while glucose is reabsorbed in the blood because of its importance in energy production, but people with renal glycosuria do not reabsorb glucose. , which causes it to be eliminated in the urine, occurring glucosuria.

How does photosynthesis help to maintain homeostasis in plant cells?
viktelen [127]

Plants maintain homeostasis by keeping their stomata open just enough to allow photosynthesis to take place but not so much that they lose an excessive amount of water.

When plant cells use the food they make, the cells respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide.

Both myoglobin and hemoglobin exhibit cooperative binding to oxygen. True or False
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

An Haemoglobin molecule  is made up of 4-polypeptides, with each of the polypeptide chain containing an haem group. These haem group can bind with one oxygen atom each.

T<u>he binding of the first oxygen atom  by the first haem group weakens the tertiary protein   structure  of  Quaternary structure  Hb, thus it makes it easier for the second Oxygen atom to bind faster, and the 3rd oxygen very fast and the 4th oxygen atom the fastest.These accelerated binding of the oxygen atoms, facilitated by the first binding O2, is called cooperative binding.It aids oxygen binding capacity and tranport functions  of Hb,</u>

<u />

<u>Myoglobin is an oxygen storage protein in  muscles, and not oxygen carrying molecule, It releases  stored O2 only in condition of low oxygen supply</u>.It has   one haem group in its molecule.Therefore its structural features can  not  carry out  cooperative binding.
