Answer:

The correct answer would be "Myosin heads attach to sites on actin filaments".

The muscle cell or myofibril consists of two types of protein filaments namely; actin (thin filament) and myosin (thick filament).

The myosin heads attach to the binding sites on the actin filaments and pull it towards the M-line in order to produce contraction.

The hydrolysis of ATP provides energy for this contraction cycle.

What is the function of cell membrane

Vika [28.1K]

Explanation:

The function of the cell membrane is to protect the organelles that break down proteins and nutrients.

It is semi-permeable which means it takes in select nutrients and excretes cell waste into the bloodstream.

Water at about 4°C (39°F) is more dense than water at 0°C (32°F). Why would the living organisms in the lake die if the water at

9966 [12]

The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking the dissolving of oxygen and nutrients. Water is actually less dense when frozen, which is why ice cubes and ice bergs all float. This is also why you can ice skate on a lake if the ice gets thick enough on the surface. Many organisms that live in freezing lakes have special adaptations which help them survive.

Which of the following does NOT characterize proteins?

8090 [49]

Answer:

The answer is C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information.

Explanation:

Why NOT C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information?

This is the job of the nucleic acids. It is composed of nucleotides which are the basic units of DNA and RNA. They carry genetic information about a certain organism.

<h3 /><h3>True of proteins:</h3>

A) They may be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity.

Denaturation is the destruction of the protein's secondary and/or tertiary structures. The primary structure is not disrupted due to the tough peptide bonds and can only be broken down by acid. For heat denaturation, hydrogen bonds are destroyed, as in cooking of egg whites and medical equipment sterilization.

B) They have both functional and structural roles in the body.

There are many kinds of proteins that have functional and structural roles like hormones (FSH, LH), antibodies (IgA, IgM), enzymes (lipase, amylase), for storage/transport (hemoglobin, ferritin), and locomotion (actin, troponin).

D) Their function depends on their three-dimensional shape.

Just like hemoglobin, it's quaternary structure can carry 4 molecules of iron in one go. Enzymes are shaped accordingly to fit a specific substrate (lock-and-key model)
