larisa86 [58]

Answer:

There are more thick filaments than thin filaments. (Ans. D)

Explanation:

Smooth muscle doesn't contain the calcium binding protein troponin. In smooth muscle, contraction is initiated by a calcium regulated phosphorylation of myosin, rather than a calcium activated troponin system.

The intermediate filaments are connected to each other with the help of dense bodies, which are attached to adherens junction in the cell membrane of the smooth muscle cells which are known as sarcolemma.

Smooth muscle cell lack sarcomeres because their filaments occur as a spiral and actin, myosin filaments are not regularly arrayed along the length of the cell.

In smooth muscle thin filaments occurs more than thick filaments.

So, the answer is D.

Which is the role of the enzyme Rubisco?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Option D, Condensation of ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate with carbon dioxide and splitting of a six-carbon product during the Calvin cycle.

Explanation:

The enzyme Ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase act as a catalyst in the reaction where CO2 attaches to ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate. In the end of this process, an unstable six carbon compound is formed.

Ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate is a molecule containing 5 - carbon molecule an when it combines it with CO2 during the Calvin cycle it splits into two molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA) which contains three carbon. This reaction is catalysed by Ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase enzyme.

Hence option D is correct.
