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.

Degger [83]

Van der Waals interactions may result when electrons are not symmetrically distributed in a molecule. Van der Waals forces, in physical chemistry are essentially associated with the name of a Dutch researcher Johannes Diderik van der Waals and indicate the separation of dependent interactions among particles and atoms.

The replication cycle of T7 virus has several things that none of the other virus replication cycles include. What is one of the
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Lysogenic replication cycle is one unique process in T7 virus replication.

Explanation:

The T7 virus is a virus that attacks bacteria ( bacteriophage). Unlike other viruses (plants and animals viruses), it replicates within the host cell by means of two cycles: the lytic replication cycle and the lysogenic replication cycle.

Virulent phages replicate through the lytic replication cell and this lead to the death of the cell through cell lysis.

The lysogenic replication cycle involves bacteriophages known as temperate bacteriophages. Temperate bacteriophages can become part of a host chromosome forming a prophage. The prophage replicates with the formation of daughter cells with incorporated viral genetic materials until when induced to enter into the lytic stage thereby producing new viruses which then exit the host cell by cell lysis.

This process of incorporation into the host cell genome is known as lysogenic replication and is unique to the bacteriophages.
