The correct answer is option B, that is, the release of calcium ions makes actin and myosin to combine with each other.  

At the time of the stimulation for a muscle contraction, calcium is discharged into the fiber. It combines with troponin and instigates it to move tropomyosin, exposing the binding site for the myosin cross-bridge. Thus, the face of the actin filament is now free to combine with myosin heads to initiate contraction of the muscle.

What is the term used for the elements and compounds before a chemical reaction takes place?
alexandr1967 [171]

Explanation:

Before a chemical reaction, the elements and compounds which are about to take part in the reaction are known as reactants.

And, when the chemical reaction takes place between the given elements and compounds then they change into products.

For example, we take sodium and chlorine elements and before any chemical reaction they are the reactants.

But when a chemical reaction takes place between sodium and chlorine then it results into the formation of sodium chloride which is the product.
