Differentiate between striated, unstriated and cardiac muscles on the basis of their structure and site/location in the body.
Striated muscles | Unstriated muscles | Cardiac muscles |
---|---|---|
1. The cells of striated muscles are long, cylindrical, unbranched and multinucleate. | 1. The cells of unstriated muscles are long and pointed at the ends, spindle shaped and uninucleate. | 1. The cells of cardiac muscles are cylindrical, branched and uninucleate. |
2. Many nuclei which are situated towards the periphery of muscle fibre. | 2. The cells have only one nucleus situated in the center. | 2. Each cell contains one or two nuclei situated in the center. |
Diagrammatically show the difference between the three types of muscle fibres.

How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
