The muscle contracts when ATP supplies energy for thing filaments in a muscle fiber to slide over thick filaments. The correct answer is A. 
Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is  A) The muscle contracts.

During muscle contraction, the thin filaments ( actin filaments) slide pass over the thick filaments ( myosin) and the sarcomere ( unit of muscle contraction ) becomes short. This is explained through sliding filament theory.  

Supply of energy in the form of ATP is very important for the contraction of muscle.

The role of ATP is to prepare myosin for its  binding with actin by moving it to a state that has higher- energy. The thin filaments slide over the thick filaments and the contraction of muscle takes place.

2. They can grow

3. They evolve to adapt to their hosts

4. They are capable of multiplication in their host cells

5. They are made up of proteins and glycoproteins like cells do

6. They have genetic information which helps them to produce more viruses in the form of either RNA or DNA.

When tissues are subjected to chemical or physical trauma or invasion by pathogenic microorganisms, what can occur?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Inflammation

Explanation:

Inflammation is an immune response produced in the body in response to the damage or trauma caused by physical or chemical factors.

The injured tissue can allow the entry of the microorganism in the body which could cause disease therefore the immune response gets activated to eliminate the pathogen.

The inflammation is marked by the swelling and redness in the injured portion due to the increased flow of blood carrying the White blood cells in that area. The immune cells interact with the pathogen and kill the pathogen.

Thus, Inflammation is the correct answer.

Looking at the image of the freshwater lake ecosystem in the reading, can you name biotic and abiotic factors in this specific e
atroni [7]

Answer:

Biotic factors include: Fish (phytoplankton-eater, zooplankton-eater, predator)

, Crayfish

, Zooplankton

, Grasses, phytoplankton, herbivorous insect, worms, etc.

Abiotic factors include: Sunlight, Rainfall, Sedimentation, Weather, Minerals, Temperature.

Changes that would impact the biotic factors include:

Water, air pollution

Human activities: such as overfishing, rechanneling of the water for purposes such as irrigation, domestic or industrial use, or dredging of the bottom of the lake.

Explanation:

An ecosystem is composed of biotic and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-living environmental factors such as water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals. In aquatic ecosystems, abiotic factors include substrate type, water depth, nutrient levels, temperature, salinity, and waterflow. Biotic factors are the living organisms in the ecosystem and they include animals, birds, plants, fungi, etc.

In the image of the freshwater lake ecosystem given,

Biotic factors include: Fish (phytoplankton-eater, zooplankton-eater, predator)

, Crayfish

, Zooplankton

, Grasses, phytoplankton, herbivorous insect, worms.

Abiotic factors include: Sunlight, Rainfall, Sedimentation, Weather, Minerals, Temperature.

Changes that would impact the biotic factors include:

Pollution: pollution such as water pollution and air pollution will adversely impact the biotic factors.

Human activities: such as overfishing, rechanneling of the water for purposes such as irrigation, domestic or industrial use, or dredging of the bottom of the lake.
