Answer: When sarcomeres shorten, the muscle fiber SHORTENS.

Explanation:

A muscle fiber is made up of many myofibrils that are attached at either end, which are composed of repeating subunits called sarcomeres that are responsible for muscle contraction. There are two types of filaments that makes up myofibrils they include;

- thick filaments and

- thin filaments

These filaments form the overlapping layers of sarcomeres. The contraction of muscle occurs through sliding- filaments model in the sarcomeres. The sarcomere and the muscle fibre shortens in length during muscle contraction ,due to the thick and thin filaments sliding over each other. I hope this helps, thanks.

Answer:

B. Shortens

Explanation:

Myofibrils are components of the animal skeletal muscles that are made up of sacromeres. They perform the muscular contraction and relaxation via the sliding filament model.

To produce motion, A cross-bridge forms between actin and the myosin heads triggering shortening of the sacromere. This shortening of the sacromere results in the contraction of the muscle fibers, which the net effect can be seen to be a shortening of the fibers

What evidence links echinoderms, hemichordates and chordates to the same evolutionary lineage?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Embryological evidence

Explanation:

Deuterostomes is a group that includes echinoderms, hemichordates, and chordates. Although these animals exhibit a wide variety of body plans, they share a mouth secondarily formed during embryo development, which it is believed to be an evolutionarily derived character present between a common ancestor and all its descendants (i.e., a synapomorphy). This oral cavity is formed by the invagination of the ectoderm layer opposite to the blastopore of the gastrula.

When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels, the neurotransmitter is serving as which
GrogVix [38]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) relay molecule

B) transducer

C) signal molecule

D) response molecule

Answer:

C) signal molecule

Explanation:

The transmission of signals in the neurons takes place in the form of electrical energy and chemical energy. The signals get transmitted in the form of electrical signals inside the neurons but when the signals have to be passed on to the next neuron on the pathway then the electrical signals get converted into the chemical signals.

The electrical signals cause the release of the chemical signals molecules called neurotransmitter from the synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic neuron and also opens the gated ion channels at the terminal. The neurotransmitter thus acts as a signal molecule in the transmission of a signal through neurons.

Thus,  C) signal molecule  is the correct answer.

If we consider the challenges posed by the Great Plate Count Anomaly, what is the primary advantage of using culture independent
nordsb [41]

Culture independent techniques is simply the use of methods in microbiology that are not based on or relies on cultivation inorder to study a microorganism in a defined ecosystem.

Independent based techniques offer a variety of advantages over the culture dependent methods.

The primary advantage of using culture independent techniques in microbiology is that culture independent techniques has the ability to identify or point out a large proportion of the microbial diversity readily and that identification on a normal state will be difficult to be observed using culture based studies or culture independent techniques.

In muscle cells, fermentation produces _____.
algol13

Answer:

The correct answer is E. Lactate and NAD+

Explanation:

Fermentation occurs in anaerobic condition and in humans, most of the energy is provided by aerobic respiration but when the body needs a lot of energy in a very quick time like in sprinting then muscles use lactic acid fermentation to gain energy.

After the consumption of all stored ATP during intense work, our body starts lactic acid fermentation to gain ATP. In lactic acid fermentation, the pyruvate molecule that was produced during glycolysis is converted into lactate molecule. In this process, NADH is oxidized to NAD+.  

Therefore in lactic acid fermentation lactate and NAD+ are produced. So the correct answer is E.
