Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

A river that is diverted to the irrigating farmland during a drought is an example of the human-caused disturbances to an ecosystem.

An ecosystem refers to a particular community within which the organisms exist and interact with each other. For example, fresh water ecosystem, desert ecosystem and forest ecosystem.

In the given situation, the river channel is disturbed by changing its flow direction. This is caused by the human activity, that changes the course of the river channel to the farmlands during a flood, so that the water can provide nutrient to the soil and prevent the soil from getting eroded.

Thus, by doing this, the river ecosystem gets affected, as a result of which the organisms existing in this ecosystem such as fishes are affected.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Answer:

c. Cardiac muscle contains bands like skeletal muscle, but its contractions are involuntary like smooth muscle.

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Cardiac muscle is also referred to as myocardium and it's one of the three (3) muscles found only in the heart of vertebrates, the other two (2) being smooth muscle tissue and skeletal muscle tissue.

Cardiac muscle contains bands like skeletal muscle referred to as sarcomeres (contractile units), but its contractions are involuntary like smooth muscle and it's typically being regulated by the sinoatrial node of the heart.
