What structure in the skeletal muscle cells functions in calcium storage?

Biology
1 answer:
Setler [38]4 years ago
8 0
Terminal cisternae are enlarged areas of the sarcoplasmic reticulum surrounding the transverse tubules. These discrete regions within the muscle cell store calcium (increasing the capacity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium) and release it when an action potential courses down the transverse tubules, eliciting muscle contraction. Because terminal cisternae ensure rapid calcium delivery, they are well developed in muscles that contract quickly, such as fast twitch skeletal muscle. The T-tubules plus adjacent terminal cisternae create a triad. In cardiac muscle, adjacent to the intercalated disks, one would find a diad which consists of a T-tubule adjacent to a single terminal cisterna.eli <span>· 5 years ago</span>

A student melts 50.0 grams of ice using 16650 j of energy. what is the heat of fusion of ice?
mojhsa [17]
The heat of fusion of the ice is the amount of energy that is required in order to melt one gram of ice. In this item, in order to solve for the heat of fusion, we simply have to divide the given energy by the mass. 
                     heat of fusion = 16650 J / 50 g = 333 J/g
Thus, the heat of fusion of the ice is 333 J/g.
