Muscle cells contain numerous __________ to serve their high demand for atp.

1 answer:

4 0

Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, contain numerous amounts of mitochondria inside of their cytoplasm. Mitochondria are organelles that are popularly known as the powerhouse of the cell because they function to process different biochemicals (such as glucose, oxygen, etc) and produce essentially Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Kreb's Cycle in particular talks about energy production, and the mitochondria is one of the main units where this cycle happens. You can think of ATP as the currency of the body in terms of energy. The more ATP one has, the more energy there is available for use by the different systems of the body. Muscles in particular have high demand for ATP.

a 24 kg rock containing 3,528 j of potential energy rests upon the edge of a cliff how tall is the cliff

GenaCL600 [577]

Potential gravitational energy is computed with the formula:

$PEgrav=mgh$

Where:
PEgrav = Potential gravitation energy (J)
m = mass (kg)
h = height (m)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

Take note that acceleration due to gravity is a constant.

All you need to do is put in what you know and solve for what you don't know. So your given is the following:
PEgrav = 3,528J
m = 24 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Put that into your formula:
$PEgrav=mgh$
$3,528J = (24kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(h)$
$3,528J = (235.2kg.m/s^{2})(h)$
$\frac{3,528J}{235.2kg.m/s^{2}} = h$
$15m=h$

The height of the cliff is 15m.

The early ancestors of horses showed the presence of digits on their limbs, while modern horses have hooves. What are likely pos

klio [65]

The correct answers are evolution, genetic mutation and selection.

The early ancestors of horses showed the pressence of digits and now the modern horses have hooves in their limbs. There could be many reasons for the pressence of hooves horses.

These could be due to the genetic mutations, which could have changed the shape of the digits in the limb. Sudden change in DNA can cause mutation and this mutation can change the phenotype of the horse.

There are chances that evolution took place over a period of time that changed the character in the horse.

Natural selection can also be one of the reason for the change in the phenotype of the digits on the limb of the horses.

How does the frogs vestigial thumb help survival?

Leviafan [203]

Frogs have their way of avoiding the predators like camouflage, squirting the poisonous liquid out of their system and through their vestigial thumbs. This organ helps them by avoiding predation by stealth which makes them quiet and silent in moving so that predators won't notice them readily.

What is the advantage of frog eggs floating light side down?

Nina [5.8K]

The light side of the eggs contains yolk in the vegetal cytoplasm. The upper half divides more fastly and is known as an animal hemisphere of the cell. The presence of yolk on the lower side allows space for the upper portion, for the movements of the embryo.
