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.

How could a scientist use the scientific method to learn more about the Cretaceous era?
Alina [70]

First, it is necessary that this scientist decide on what point of the Cretaceous period he wants to study. Among several points he may want to study the evolution of microorganisms of that time, the life of a dinosaur species, or the evolution of dinosaurs, the flora that was established during this period, among others. This is the phase of the scientific method called Observation.

After that, he must enter the phase called "Elaboration of hypotheses" where he will raise questions about the point he decided to study. "How many flower species existed in that period?", "How many of these flowers can we observe today?" among others.

After that, he will enter the phase called "Experimentation", where he will establish a type of experiment and all the experimental factors and variables that will allow the hypotheses to be answered.

After the experiment he will collect the data that will be analyzed and that will give results that will answer the hypotheses previously established. This is the phase called "Analysis of the results".

At that moment, he will be able to reach the last phase of the scientific method, the phase called "conclusion", where he will show the conclusions that the experiment allowed to be established.

Photosynthetic algae create sugars that will eventually be broken down during which process
Leya [2.2K]
The breaking down of sugars is called glycolysis. The prefix glyco- means sugar, and the suffix -lysis means breaking down. It's part of a three-step process in respiration, the other two is The Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Phosphorylation. In the process of glycolysis, 2 ATP and 2 NADH are produced.

Human blood types are characterized by the presence absence of surface markers known as a tigers on the surface of red blood cel
zalisa [80]

Answer:

characterized by presence or absence of antigens

the blood types are A, B, O, AB

Explanation:

There are two antigens and two antibodies that are mostly responsible for the ABO types.  The specific combination of these four components determines an individual's type in most cases. Erythrocytes and serum were related to the presence of antigens on these erythrocytes and antibodies in the serum. these antigens  are A and B, and depending upon which antigen the erythrocytes express, blood either belonged to blood group A or blood group B. A third blood group contained erythrocytes that reacted as if they lacked the properties of A and B, and this group was later called "O" blood group. The fourth blood group AB, was added to the ABO blood group system. These erythrocytes expressed both A and B antigens.

Blood group   Antigen present on RBC    Antibodies in serum    Genotype(s)

      A                        antigen A                             anti-B                     AA or AO

      B                        antigen B                             anti-A                     BB or BO

      AB              both A and B antigen                 none                         AB

      O                           none                           anti-A and anti-B           OO

What two parts of a nucleotide do not ?change throughout the structure of DNA a. Five-Carbon Sugar and Phosphate Group b. Five-C
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a. Five-Carbon Sugar and Phosphate

Explanation:

A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;

1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.

2. A phosphate group.

3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.

The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;

I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.

II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.
