Skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues are both considered as striated, which means that they have light and dark bands.
Yes, smooth muscle has alternating dark and light bands known as the A and I bands, respectively.
Yes, in striated muscle you can think of the "A" bands as the dArk bands and the "I" bands as the lIght bands.
It could be a sedimentary rock or a foliated metamorphic rock exhibiting alternating bands of light and dark minerals.
The alternation dark and light bands are found in muscles of humans and animals. They give the muscle fibers their striated appearance.
In striated muscle fibers, light bands (I bands) are formed by the protein actin, while dark bands (A bands) are formed by the protein myosin. These proteins play a crucial role in the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction.
The property of light responsible for producing dark and bright bands on the screen after passing through two slits is interference. When light waves pass through the two slits and overlap on the screen, they interfere with each other either constructively (bright bands) or destructively (dark bands) based on their relative phase.
A and I bands
No. Gneiss has alternating light and dark bands.
The dark bands are caused from the differnet chemical elements which absorb light at specific wavelengths.

Alternating dark and light bands refer to the pattern observed in muscle fibers and certain other biological structures, such as the striations in skeletal and cardiac muscle. These bands result from the organized arrangement of protein filaments—actin (thin filaments) and myosin (thick filaments)—which create regions of varying density and refractive index under a microscope. The dark bands, or A bands, correspond to areas where thick filaments overlap, while the light bands, or I bands, consist of thin filaments alone. This striated appearance is crucial for muscle contraction and function.
Gneiss is a type of rock that has parallel bands of dark and light mineral grains. These bands are a result of the rock being subjected to high temperatures and pressures during its formation, causing the minerals to align in distinct layers.
