Determine whether each statement correctly describes the myocardial action potential and the pacemaker potential. 1. Because the

pacemaker potential occurs during systole, it can also be called systolic potential. (Click to select) 2. The pacemaker potential is the relatively slow, spontaneous depolarization in the SA node. (Click to select) 3. Myocardial cells produce their own action potentials after being stimulated by action potentials originating in the SA node. (Click to select) 4. Myocardial action potentials are characterized by a spike and then slow depolarization. (Click to select)

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

4. False

Explanation:

In mammals, the contraction of the heart muscle is caused by pacemaker cells localized within the sinoatrial (SA) node. These cells rhythmically generate slow electrically-induced action potentials due to their slow rate of depolarization. The pacemaker cells generate the action potentials that propagate through the heart and trigger the contraction of myocyte cells (i.e., myocytes simply conduct the action potential waves). The slow depolarization of pacemaker cells occurs during diastole, i.e., during the period of relaxation of the heart muscle.

What is the green pigment found in the chloroplasts of both plants and algae?
Svetradugi [14.3K]


The correct answer is A - chlorophyll.

It is a green pigment found in the chloroplasts of green plants. Chloroplasts are mostly found in the leaves of green plants and also in some algae.

Plants use chlorophyll to trap light energy from the sun. Without the light energy, plants cannot be able to carry out the process of photosynthesis, which converts water and carbon dioxide  into starch that plants use for food. 

Photosynthesis also releases oxygen which is vital for animal life.
