What is the regulatory protein component of the thin filament that binds to calcium

Biology

Answer:

Troponin

Explanation:

Myofilaments are found in myofibrils and comprises of thin and thick filaments. Thick filaments are majorly composed of myosin while thin filaments are mainly composed of actin protein.

More specifically thin filament is composed of three proteins known as actin, myosin and troponin. Sarcomere is known as the basic contractile unit and in vertebrates the contraction of striated muscles is mainly controlled by interaction of troponin and tropomyosin on actin filament.

On the stimulation from the nervous system the calcium ions are released from sarcoplasmic reticulum. The tropomyosin filament is moved on actin filament to uncover the surface for the binding of myosin head by the stimulation from calcium ion binding to troponin. This causes the contraction of sarcomere and it continues until the calcium ions are removed from sarcoplasmic reticulum.

The enzyme will be transported to either the cytoplasm or the mitochondria to perform the functions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Cellular respiration is the process by which a living cell burns nutrients like glucose, fats, or even proteins to produce energy molecules namely ATP to perform its daily works. This cellular respiration, which is mainly aerobic, takes place both in cytoplasm and mitochondria.

The glycolysis part of the cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm. The enzymes that take part in the glycolysis cycle reaches to cytoplasm from ribosome to perform.

But both the Kreb's Cycle and the Electron Transport chain take place in mitochondria. Kreb's Cycle takes place in mitochondria matrix and ETC takes place in inner mitochondrial membrane. Although ETC isn't a enzymatic process, Kreb's Cycle is fully enzymatic and the enzymes reaches from ribosomes inside mitochondria by transporters.

What happens if a cell is missing a receptor for a particular molecule
steposvetlana [31]
Cell–cell interaction refers to the direct interactions between cell surfaces that play a crucial role in the development and function of multicellular organisms. These interactions allow cells to communicate with each other in response to changes in their microenvironment. This ability to send and receive signals is essential for the survival of the cell. Interactions between cells can be stable such as those made through cell junctions. These junctions are involved in the communication and organization of cells within a particular tissue. Others are transient or temporary such as those between cells of the immune system or the interactions involved in tissue inflammation. These types of intercellular interactions are distinguished from other types such as those between cells and the extracellular matrix. The loss of communication between cells can result in uncontrollable cell growth and cancer
