Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

A myofibril or muscle fiber under an electron microscope shows alternate light band and dark bands.  These bands give the skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle a striated appearance. The light band is called the I- band or isotropic band, and the dark band is known as A- band or anisotropic band. In the center of the I-band Z-line is present. It is discovered from a German term Zwischenscheibe (between the disc). The portion of myofibril between one Z-line to the next Z-line is called sarcomere.

Describe five good reasons why we should not use GMOs?Support each reason with an example of GMOs used.
Vesna [10]
Here’s one! Huge farming companies genetically modified foods to withstand round up. You might know round up as a weed killer. It’s marketed safe with no harming chemicals to humans. That is completely wrong and have been proven to cause many chronic illnesses including cancer. These foods are modified to not react with round up and only to kill the weeds all around the plants. Even though the food looks ok it’s really not. The round up is all over the food. Then we eat it and well bad chemicals get absorbed into are body.

I hope this is some of what you were looking for. If not I hope you enjoyed my fun fact ;) good luck.

Explain the characteristics scientists use when observing organisms and placing them in the six kingdoms .
Rus_ich [418]
<span>The characteristics that scientists used to classify living organisms into six kingdoms include the following:
1. Cell type: living organisms are classified into prokaryotes and eukaryotes based on the presence of nucleus and distinct arrangement of the organelles in their cells.

2. Mobility: living organisms are categorized into kingdoms based on their ability or inability to move about.

 3. Cell structure: the cells structure was used to divide living organisms into plants and animals. Those living organisms that have cell wall are classified as plants while those who do not have cell wall are classified as animals.

4. Number of cells: living organisms that are made up of only one cell are classified as unicellular while those with many cells are termed multi cellular.

 5. Reproduction method: living organisms are classified based on whether they reproduce sexually or asexually.

6. Manner of obtaining energy: living organisms that can prouduce their own food are called autotrophs while those that can not produce their own foood are termed heterotrophs. Plants are essentially categorised as autotrophs while animals are described as heterotrophs.</span>
