Answer:

eccentric contraction

Explanation:

When a muscle contracts under any load or tension then such muscle action is referred to as eccentric contraction. One of the common most example is squat exercise in which muscles lengthen under the effect of eccentric contraction in the downward position

This usually happens when the total length of the muscle increases with the increase in tension produced in the muscles.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Precipitation

Explanation:

Although the options are missing in the question, one word that can be solely used for rain, sleeet, snow and hail is "<u>preciptation</u>".

Principally, precipitation is a meteorological phenomenon that allows the <u>condensation of atmospheric water vapors</u> to make them fall on the Earth's surface under gravity. It is important to consider that fog and frost couldn't be considered as precipitation because, in these processes, water vapours don't fall on the Earth's surface.

What is the monomer (single unit) that makes up the polysaccharides?

taurus [48]

Answer:

monosaccharides

Explanation:

<em>The monomers of polysaccharides are the monosaccharides, otherwise known as the simple sugars. The monosaccharides are linked together by bonds known as glycosidic bonds. </em>

For example; starch, cellulose, and glycogen are polysaccharides whose monomer units are glucose - a monosaccharide. The glycosidic bonds in starch and glycogen are alpha while those in cellulose are beta glycosidic bonds. The latter is formed when the hydroxyl group on the first carbon of the sugar is above the glucose ring while the former is formed when the hydroxyl group is below the ring.
