If the length of the absolute refractory period in cardiac muscle cells was the same as it is for skeletal muscle cells, _______

_.
a) it would be much longer before cardiac cells could respond to a second stimulation
b) contractions would last as long as the refractory period pacemaker cells would cease to spontaneously depolarize

Answer:

Answer is C. Tetanic contraction might occur which would stop the heart's pumping action.

Explanation:

Tetanic contraction occurs when the muscle fiber doesn't fully relax before it contracts again due to repeated stimuli at short intervals.

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. 1. Rod cells are depolarized in the dark. (Click to select) 2. Glutamate binds
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1. true, 2. true, 3. false, and 4. true.

Explanation:

1. Rod cells are the photoreceptors present in the retina that are hyperpolarized not depolarized in dark due to sodium ions efflux.

2. Depolarisation of the bipolar cell of the retina by glutamate release by rods and cones.

3. The adaption according to the light is known as a light adaptation which takes place due to a large part of photochemical in both rods and cones which is reduced to retinal and opsins.

4. when the light reaction takes place retinal converted to opsin

Which characteristic distinguishes viruses from microorganisms such as bacteria and amoebae?
Lunna [17]

Answer:Explanation: Viruses are acellular organisms and although they do not have cells, they are extremely dependent on these structures, since they do not have their own metabolism and do not have any organelles. Viruses can only reproduce within a host cell other than fungi and bacteria

Based on the results above, you study the settlement patterns of the three species. You establish transects on each of your expe
dem82 [27]

Answer:

c. Physical adaptations to the environment drive the distribution of all three species in the wild.

Explanation:

Options A and B refer to competition between species. The experiment was about the colonizing ability of the three species, and not the interaction among them. So these two options are not correct.

Option D states that species A is better adapted to the upper intertidal zone than the middle or lower. But the table shows that species A is equally adapted to colonize upper and middle intertidal zone, and less adapted to colonize lower zones.

The correct option is C. When these competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species. In the exposed example,  the three species coexist in the middle and lower zones, which means that they probably have different niches and got adapted to living to their environments. This adaptation to different conditions is what leads to their distribution.    

In the exposed example, species A and B can live in the upper intertidal zone, where species C can not live because they can not tolerate environmental conditions. The three species can live in the middle zone, but still, A and B are more adapted to this area than C. Among A and B, B is the most adapted to living in the upper and middle zones. Species C seems to be very adapted to live in the lower intertidal zone, where species A and B can also live, but are less adapted to this area, probably due to environmental conditions or due to their vulnerability to predation. In this last area, species A is less adapted.
