Abiotic factors are the things in the environment that are not alive.  They are factors like the wind, the weather, humidity, light, etc.  Biotic factors are the living factors in the environment like the plants and animals.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: Mollusc

Explanation: Mollscs are the next biggest phylum of animals that do not have nor develop backbone which includes nearly 23% of every named individual being that embodies the properties of existence in the sea. However, they live in both flowing water like streams and springs and in still water like ponds and lakes, some also live on land. They are highly different in both in size and structure and in attitude and environment.

Using the sliding flament theory, explain (or draw) the process of sarcomere shortening. Start from the point where calcium woul
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

  1. Calcium binds to troponin C
  2. Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
  3. Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
  4. ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
  5. The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
  6. ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
  7. ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
  8. Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

Explanation:  

In rest, the tropomyosin inhibits the attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments. Contraction initiates when an action potential depolarizes the inner portion of the muscle fiber. Calcium channels activate in the T tubules membrane, releasing <u>calcium into the sarcolemma.</u> At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to troponin C, troponin T alters the tropomyosin position by moving it and unblocking the binding sites. Myosin heads join to the uncovered actin-binding points forming cross-bridges, and while doing so, ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin. Finally, Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

A student compares the four distinct cells that could form from the stem cell after differentiation. Which statement accurately
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The statement that accurately compares and contrasts the red blood cell and the white blood cell is that both have the same copy of DNA, but different genes are expressed in the two cell types.

Explanation:

Red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC) are two highly differentiated types of cells that come from the hematopoietic system and have different functions in the blood.

Compared to WBC , RBC cells lack a nucleus and have fewer organelles, and their function is to transport gases in the blood, unlike the former which are involved in the body's defence.

<em>Cell differentiation is based on gene expression of the genome, resulting in different types of proteins synthesized in each cell, which give them a different structure and function. </em>

Both <u>WBC and RBC have the same genome</u>, but different genes are expressed in each, giving them different morphological and functional characteristics.
