8 0

Answer:

The options

A. Methylation

B. Dephosphorylation

C. Phosphorylation

D. Enzymatic transformation

The CORRECT ANSWER IS B.

B. Dephosphorylation

Explanation:

The regulation of the phosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC) is a major step in the regulation of smooth muscle cell contraction.

The dephosphorylation of myosin light chain (MLC) occurs in smooth muscle tissue and causes the relaxation phase of the muscle cells. This step is controlled by the MLC phosphatase (MLCP).

Provide at least three reasons why friction is needed.
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Although you normally hear about trying to reduce or eliminate friction, it actually has some important uses.

Since friction is a resistance force that slows down or prevents motion, it is necessary in many applications where you might want to hold items or do things and prevent slipping or sliding. In those cases, there is an advantage of having friction.

Quite often uses of frction can be seen from how things would be without friction. Without friction, you would not be able to walk, drive a car, or hold objects. Pens and pencils would not work.
