You take a human smooth muscle cell and block the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. What effect does that have

on contraction of that smooth muscle cell, and why?
A. Contraction is completely blocked because calcium binding to troponin is required for contraction.

B. Contraction still occurs because Ca2+ can enter the cell directly through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and bind to troponin.

C. Contraction is completely blocked because calcium binding to calmodulin is required for contraction.

D. Contraction still occurs because contraction in smooth muscle is completely independent of Ca2+ levels.

E. Contraction still occurs because Ca2+ can enter the cell directly through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and bind to calmodulin.
E. Contraction still occurs because Ca2+ can enter the cell directly through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and bind to calmodulin.

Answer:

The correct option is E) Contraction still occurs because Ca2+ can enter the cell directly through Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and bind to calmodulin.

Usually, the calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of a cell during a muscle contraction, but if those are blocked, the contractions is an cell can still arise through the calcium ions which are present in the cell membrane of a cell.

How do electrons behave in the atom?
blsea [12.9K]
When the electron wavefunction is bound in a stable state in an atom it stretches into a 'orbital' form. There was a mistake. When attached in a stable atomic state, an electron often acts like a three-dimensional oscillating wave, i.e. the orbital vibrates. It's sort of like a vibrating chord.

A man has extra digits (six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot). His wife and their daughter have the normal number
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. 1/2

Explanation:

Extra digits on hands and feet mean an individual has six fingers in each hand and feet, this is known as polydactyly. Polydactyly shows an autosomal dominant type of inheritance pattern.

In this case, the mother is normal so she must be recessive alleles and the first daughter is normal so the father must have a recessive allele which means he is heterozygous.

Cross:

Man = Dd

Woman = dd

Their children :

    D      d

d   Dd    dd  

d  Dd    dd

Probability of polydactyl child = 2/4 or 1/2 or 50%
