a cheetah on seeing a prey moves towards it at a very high speed.what causes the movement in his muscle.
Answers
Answer:
Nerve Impulse and Structure of Special Proteins in Muscle Fibre.
Explanation:
On seeing the prey, an impulse is sent from the brain to the muscles in it’s limbs so that the cheetah can run towards the prey.
Muscles have special proteins that change both their shape and their arrangement in the cells, new arrangement of the proteins give different forms to the muscle cells, i.e. Shorter or Larger form.
Therefore, the cheetah is able to run after the prey due to the arrangement of cellular components (proteins) in the muscles.
Answer:
Cheetah
Explanation:
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat native to Africa and central Iran. It is the fastest land animal, capable of running at 80 to 128 km/h (50 to 80 mph), and as such has several adaptations for speed, including a light build, long thin legs and a long tail.
The spine is so flexible that it allows the cheetah to quickly move its two back feet ahead of its two front feet. Along with some unique hips, this movement helps the cheetah get more distance per stride. ... Unlike the rest of us cats, cheetahs can't retract their claws into their paw.
Structurally, the cheetah has a unique, flexible spine, which allows for extreme flexion and extension while running at top speeds. In spine flexion, when the cat's legs are directly underneath its body, the scapula and hip are able to rotate to such an extreme angle that the cheetah's front and hind legs overlap.
