Where are the nephron units located in the kidney?
Why are nephrons considered the structeral and functional units of the kidney?
The functional units of DNA that contain the instructions for making one or more proteins are?
Genes. These are the sections of DNA that contain the instructions for a functional product, such as protein. Genes only make up a very small amount of human DNA, around 3% - but are vital for survival.
What is the basic structural and functional unit of organisims?
The basic structural and functional units of organisms are cells.
Group of similar cells that act as functional units at most basic level?
Tissue.
What cells of all animals are organized into structural and functional units called tissues EXCEPT for the?
sponges!
What is one of the functional units of a myrofibril?
One of the functional units of a myofibril is the sarcomere. The word sarcomere comes from the Greek words sarx, meaning flesh, and meros, meaning part.
What is the basic functional unit of a myofibril?
sarcomere
What is the segment of a myofibril between two Z-lines?
sarcomereThe contractile units are called sarcomeres.
Muscle cells contain contractible units called?
Myofibril, composed of actin and myosin.
What do the renal pyramids contain?
One million functional units
What are the functional units of the units called?
They are genes.
The smallest functional unit of the muscle fiber?
The smallest functional unit of a muscle fiber is the sarcomere. Sarcomeres are composed of actin and myosin filaments arranged in a repeating pattern, allowing for muscle contraction and relaxation to occur. They are responsible for the striated appearance of skeletal muscle under a microscope.
Functional units of lungs?
Alveoli
What repeating units make up a muscle fiber?
sacomeres are a single unit of a muscle fiber multiple sacomeres make up a myofibril
