Fossils of Lystrosaurus, a dicynodont therapsid, are most common in parts of modern-day South America, South Africa, Madagascar, India, South Australia, and Antarctica. It apparently lived in arid regions, and was mostly herbivorous. It originated during the mid-Permian period, survived the Permian extinction, and dwindled by the late Triassic, though there is evidence of a relict population in Australia during the Cretaceous. The dicynodonts had two large tusks, extending down from their upper jaws; the tusks were not used for food gathering, and in some species were limited to males. Food was gathered using an otherwise toothless beak. Judging from the fossil record, these pig-sized organisms were the most common mammal-like reptiles of the Permian.Which of Lystrosaurusʹ features help explain why these organisms fossilized so abundantly?

I. the presence of hard parts, such as tusks

II. its herbivorous diet

III. its persistence across at least two geological eras

IV. its widespread geographic distribution

V. its mixture of reptilian and mammalian features

In heart muscle, activation series of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor its effector K+ channel via the Gβγ subunit of a Gi protein.
a. Binding of acetylcholine triggers activation of the Gαi subunit and its dissociation from the Gβγ subunit in the usual way. 
b. The released Gβγ subunit (rather than Gαi∙GTP) binds to and opens the associated effector protein, a K+ channel. 
b. The increase in K+ permeability hyperpolarizes the membrane, which reduces the frequency of heart muscle contraction. 
d. Activation is terminated when the GTP bound to Gαi is hydrolyzed (by a GAP enzyme that is an intrinsic part of the Gαi subunit) to GDP and Gαi∙GDP recombines with Gβγ.
