Why am I slightly threatened by this?
D all of these create a magnetic field. let me know if you want me to explain.
Answer:
- Calcium binds to troponin C
- Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
- Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
- ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
- The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
- ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
- ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
- Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.
Explanation:
In rest, the tropomyosin inhibits the attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments. Contraction initiates when an action potential depolarizes the inner portion of the muscle fiber. Calcium channels activate in the T tubules membrane, releasing <u>calcium into the sarcolemma.</u> At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to troponin C, troponin T alters the tropomyosin position by moving it and unblocking the binding sites. Myosin heads join to the uncovered actin-binding points forming cross-bridges, and while doing so, ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament. Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin. Finally, Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.
The first statement above is an example of incomplete dominance. If
the calf has black and white spots then that’s an example of codominance.
Incomplete dominance is a form of transitional
inheritance in which one allele for an explicit trait is not entirely expressed
over its paired allele. This effects in a third phenotype in which the
expressed physical trait is a mixture of the phenotypes of both alleles.
Codominance<span> is a form of dominance by which the alleles of a gene
pair in a heterozygote are wholly expressed. This effects in offspring with a
phenotype that is neither dominant or recessive. A usual example showing this type of dominance is
the ABO blood group system.</span>

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell because it produces ATP, which is energy.
