Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Cardiac muscles are involuntary, cross striated & non-fatigued fibres. Cell junctions fuse the plasma membranes of cardiac muscle cells and make them stick together. Communication junctions (intercalated discs) at some fusion points allow the cells to contract as a unit, ., when one cell receives a signal to contract, its neighbouring cells are also stimulated to contract.

The synthesis of microbial cellular features (e.g., sugars and amino acids) can be summarized with which of the following statements? Each molecule that needs to be synthesized O has its own unique carbon fixation pathway to ensure that there is no fixation unless that particular molecule is needed O will be passed through one of the glycolytic pathways to form pyruvate. O must be taken up from the environment in the form necessary to meet the needs of the cell. O will be modified from common precursor molecules to meet the needs of the cell. O must be oxidized to generate energy (via the electron transport chain) necessary to conduct biosynthesis
