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.

When the solar system first formed, 99 percent of the gas and dust material gathered together in one spot. What did gravity form
sashaice [31]

Answer: A protoplanetary disk.

Explanation:

The first thing that was formed, is the Sun, where most of the mass collapsed by the gravitational force and formed the star in the center.

After that, the rest formed something called a "protoplanetary disk", which is a rotating disk (as the name implies) of dust and dense gas which rotates around a newly generated star (in this case, there are protoplanetary disks formed around other types of stars, like a T Tauri Star).

Now, this protoplanetary disk will evolve into a planetary system, (planets, asteroids, moons, etc)
