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 answer is b. False.
Smog is named for the mixture of smoke and fog. It is an air pollutant. It is able to affect human health and environment, as well. Smog affects plant by inhibiting photosynthesis which leads to reduced growth, reproduction, and survival of the plants. It can make them more susceptible to disease or to cause drying out.
Answer: 1. The resting membrane potential would become less negative (more positive).
Explanation:
Resting membrane potential is a voltage carried by a resting (non-signaling) neuron, or called as resting potential, across its membrane. The resting potential is determined by ion concentration gradients across the membrane, and the permeability of the membrane to each ion form.
In a resting brain, there are gradients of concentration across the Na+ and K+ membranes. Forces shift their gradients down through channels, resulting in a separation of charges that provides the potential for rest. The membrane is much more permeable to K+ than to Na+, so the resting potential is similar to K+'s potential for equilibrium.
Hence, the correct option is 1. The resting membrane potential would become less negative (more positive).
