Multiple Choice

Which of the following is true about the current research regarding forest fragmentation?

• A) Fragmented forests support a greater biodiversity because they result in the combination of forest-edge species and forest-interior species.
• B) Fragmented forests support a lesser biodiversity because the forested-adapted species leave, and only the edge and open-field species can occupy fragmented forests.
• C) Fragmented forests are the goal of conservation biologists who design wildlife preserves.
• D) Harvesting timber that results in forest fragmentation results in less soil erosion.
• E) The disturbance of timber extraction causes the species diversity to increase because of the new habitats created.

Troponin

A complex of three regulatory proteins involved in muscle contraction in skeletal and cardiac muscles.

Tropomyosin

A protein that regulates muscle contraction by controlling the access of myosin to actin filaments.

Muscle Contraction

Muscle contraction is a physiological process where muscle fibers actively shorten or generate tension, often resulting in movement or the maintenance of posture.

Muscle Contraction

The process by which muscle fibers shorten, generating force and movement.
