If two skeletal muscles were the same overall length and had the same metabolic properties, but one had sarcomeres twice as long as the other which one would shorten faster under a very light load

The skeletal muscle with the shorter sarcomere length would shorten faster under a very light load.

Explanation:

A sarcomere is the unit of contraction in a striated muscle. Types of striated muscles include cardiac muscles and skeletal muscles.

All striated muscles are connected to the skeleton and the characteristic sarcomeres are functional in creating force and contractility.

The length of muscle sarcomeres affects how much and how fast the muscle contracts. A muscle with a longer sarcomere length, though having greater force, has a shorter range of contraction when compared to a muscle fiber with shorter sarcomere length.

Sarcomeres, are associated with protein fibres; myosin and actin. Myosin binds to actin after a calcium influx. The calcium influx serves to expose the binding sites of actin, enabling both proteins to bind in a cross binding pattern.

the answer is a or when it says crossing over

answer: the blood-brain barrier is a layer of specialized membranes and cell processes designed to keep undesirable substances from passing from the bloodstream into the precious tissues of the brain. while the blood-brain barrier does keep most bad things out of the central nervous system, it is not impermeable.
