What happens when calcium binds troponin? What happens when calcium binds troponin? Troponin binds to actin and causes sarcomere

shortening. Troponin changes shape and covers the SR calcium channel, which is a form of negative feedback. Tropomyosin is pulled away from the myosin-binding site on actin. Troponin releases myosin and activates actin.

Answer:

Tropomyosin is pulled away from the myosin-binding site on actin.

Explanation:

Actin and myosin are contractile proteins present in muscle cells. They interact with each other to cause muscle contraction.

When calcium binds to troponin protein, confirmational changes occur in troponin. It pulls tropomyosin away from myosin binding sites on actin. The sites become free and cross bridge is formed between myosin and actin which leads to muscle contraction. The process continues until no more calcium and ATP is available after which tropomyosin again covers the binding sites on actin.

ValentinkaMS [17]
 1.The nucleus is often considered to be the cell's control center.
(because it contains the DNA)

2.The cytoplasm consists of everything inside the plasma membrane of the cell.
(actually it excludes the nucleus)

 3.The plasma membrane forms a boundary between the inside and outside of the cell. - it controls what can enter and what can't!


4.The cytoskeleton is essentially a "skeleton" inside the cell..
it maintains the form of the cell

5.The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered with
Ribosomes -they make the proteins!


6.Lysosomes use enzymes to break down foreign matter and dead cells.

 7.plant cells cells specifically have a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and chloroplasts.-choloplasts are only found in plants!

Hydrogen ions have a positive charge why
Fantom [35]
Hydrogen has one valence electron. To make it an ion, you need to remove this valence electron. When you remove an electron, the element becomes positive because you are taking away the negative

The lysosome functions in a cell like the _______ does in our bodies.
Troyanec [42]
Lysosomes remove waste at a cellular level.
They contain digestive enzymes, so they're like the digestive system.
The stomach digests food, so lysosomes could be considered like the stomach.
But then again, so do the intestines, small and large.
Since the stomach doesn't also work to remove waste though, I'd say the answer is probably large intestine, which finishes the digestive process and removes waste material.
