HIV tests are used to detect the presence of the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in serum, saliva , or urine such tests may antibodies, antigens, or RNA .
Answer:
- Calcium binds to troponin C
- Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
- Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
- ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
- The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
- ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
- ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
- Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.
Explanation:
In rest, the tropomyosin inhibits the attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments. Contraction initiates when an action potential depolarizes the inner portion of the muscle fiber. Calcium channels activate in the T tubules membrane, releasing <u>calcium into the sarcolemma.</u> At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to troponin C, troponin T alters the tropomyosin position by moving it and unblocking the binding sites. Myosin heads join to the uncovered actin-binding points forming cross-bridges, and while doing so, ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament. Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin. Finally, Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.
Answer:
Testing positive for HIV means a high chance of death and a good chance of lower reproduction rates. But some people are immune to HIV, which makes them more evolutionarily fit, likely to live longer, likely to reproduce more, which would increase the frequency of the immune allele in the population. Over time, this increase in frequency of the gene that causes immunity could spread across the human race and cause it to evolve.
Answer:
D is the correct option
Explanation:
expansion of water is not significant over day night temperature
Answer: Transport proteins act as doors to the cell, helping certain molecules pass back and forth across the plasma membrane, which surrounds every living cell. In passive transport molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
