Answer :

Vinegar is a weak acid. This is used to make a naked egg. When an egg is added in the vinegar for one day / 24 hrs, it reacts with the eggshell. The calcium carbonate shell gets dissolve.

Then an egg without shell is formed and the size of the egg does not change. The calcium carbonate reacts with acetic acid and forms carbon dioxide.

When the shell-less egg is kept in the vinegar for 48 hrs i.e. 2 days again, the water content in it enters into the eggs through the membrane. Then the egg gets somewhat bigger.

Otherwise, for 24 hrs, vinegar is acting like an isotonic solution and only dissolves the shell. This experiment would be done for showing the osmosis process through the cell membrane.

Muscle tone is ________. the condition of athletes after intensive training the ability of a muscle to efficiently cause skeleta

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

a state of sustained partial contraction

Explanation:

Simply said, muscle tone means that there is a sustained tension in a muscle wile in a determinate posture. The muscle tone enable us to mantaing our bodies in a posture fit for resting or for also working, like sitting, being stand up or in a couch or sleeping. The changes in the muscle tones make us able to move. So contractions will follow depending what activity we are engaged on, as a continous and passive partial contraction of muscles change following changes in direction.

Muscle tones have contractions that do not produce enough tension to move, buy they keep it tense and firm.

Thererefore the tension is balanced and resting muscle tone balances bones and joints.

See below :)

In physiology, medicine, and anatomy, muscle tone (residual muscle tension or tonus) is the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles, or the muscle's resistance to passive stretch during resting state. It helps to maintain posture and declines during REM sleep.
