Answer:
The correct answer is : The concentration of solute in the environment is equal to the concentration inside the cell.
Explanation:
Isotonic environment is an environment the amount of solute concentration is equal on both side of the semipermeable membrane or the cell. in such condition there would be no water movement towards particular direction or will take place and as there is no water movement so there would be no change in shape or size of the cell. The osmotic pressure in an isotonic environment would be same on both side of the membrane.
Thus, the correct answer is : The concentration of solute in the environment is equal to the concentration inside the cell.

does a cross bridge in a sarcomere of a fast fiber produce the same amount of forces as a cross bridge in a sarcomere of a slow
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Cross bridge in a sarcomere of a fast fiber produce higher amounts of force as compared to a cross bridge in a sarcomere of a slow fiber

Explanation:

When a muscle contracts, a cross bridge is formed between actin and myosin. The sarcomere shortens when a muscle contracts by reforming cross bridge. In general a muscle fiber is of three types – a) slow, b) Fast and c) intermediate.  

The sarcomere of fast fiber generates high force but for a short period of time. On the other hand, sarcomere of slow fiber generate lower amounts of force but this force lasts for a longer period of time. Due to this difference, fast fibers are the predominant fibers in the body
