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.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
