Answer:

A compound is a pure substance because its molecule cannot be broken down into simpler particles by physical means.

Explanation:

A pure substance is one whose composition does not vary, even if the physical conditions in which it is found change. For example, water has a formula that is H2O and is always the same, which indicates that it is made up of molecules in which there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. If that formula changed, it would be another different substance.

A pure substance cannot be broken down into other simpler substances using physical methods.  Therefore, a pure substance has its own or defined characteristic properties.

Within the pure substances 2 types are distinguished: Elements and compounds.

Since each myofibril is attached at either end of the muscle fiber, when sarcomeres shorten, the muscle fiber
zmey [24]

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

Your assignment in biology lab is to design an experiment that would detect whether a substance is breaking down, or digesting,
Elis [28]

Answer: Option B

Explanation: First we should understand the role of enzyme and acid here. Pepsin is an enzyme which will break down proteins into simple monomers (like amino acids). And, acid causes digestion which means it will break down the protein into its respective elements and compounds. Water will act as a control in this experiment.

Option B is correct because it has all three criteria-                                                                                   1. Control [water + protein]                                                                                                               2. With enzyme [egg white + pepsin]                                                                                           3. With acid and enzyme

So this will give us an idea whether pepsin alone is breaking down the protein or digesting it. And there would be difference in test tube B and C. So this will clear the difference.

Option A is incorrect because it has not mentioned any different test tube for checking what happened with the protein. And, Option C is incorrect because mass of egg white will remain same after digestion also.
