Answer:
sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped
Explanation:
Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.
Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.
THE PROCESS IS CALLED DECOMPOSITION IM NOT SURE ABOUT THE FIRST ONE THOUGH.....HOPE THIS HELPED
Water Cycle:
1. It is stored in the ground.
2. Evaporation, transportation, precipitation
3. Runoff comes straight from precipitation. Infiltration is from the ground while run off never went in the ground.
4. It will usually end up in the same place, the ocean
5. Water levels rise, temperatures rise, CO2 in atmosphere increases
Carbon Cycle:
1. Carbon is important because it is one of the basic building blocks of life.
2. Trees, animals, grass, decomposition, combustion, fossil fuels
3. Carbon enters as photosynthesis.
4. Carbon enters water to the soil decomposition. Aquatic plants have plenty of water to work with, so their main challenge is getting enough sunlight and air.
6. By breathing in the oxygen from plants.
7. Two ways carbon return from animals into water is through cellular respiration and decomposition.
8. Combustion is when we dig up the fossil fuel and burn it, then what is left goes into the air starting the cycle again.
9. Deforestation reduces the capacity of forests to be carbon sinks.
Nitrogen Cycle:
1. Nitrogen is important because it helps us grow crops, and it produces grass for animal.
2. It comes from lightning and is named nitrogen fixation.
3. Ammonification and then transitions into nitrification and then to assimilation.
Phosphorus Cycle:
1. It forms part of life sustaining molecules like DNA and RNA.
2. Phosphorus is never found in the atmosphere.
All cells have a protective covering known as cell membrane. In plants, the cell membrane is further protected by another layer called cell wall. All the organelles present inside the cells are membrane bounded structure.
Cell membranes are made up of phospholipid bilayer with extrinsic and intrinsic proteins. From the studies on the plasma membrane structure, it was found that the protein fingerprint of MITOCHONDRIA and CHLOROPLAST are most similar to the cell membrane.
Answer:
The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.
Explanation:
There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.
A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.
A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.
The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.
