Answer:
- Calcium binds to troponin C
- Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
- Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
- ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
- The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
- ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
- ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
- Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.
Explanation:
In rest, the tropomyosin inhibits the attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments. Contraction initiates when an action potential depolarizes the inner portion of the muscle fiber. Calcium channels activate in the T tubules membrane, releasing <u>calcium into the sarcolemma.</u> At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to troponin C, troponin T alters the tropomyosin position by moving it and unblocking the binding sites. Myosin heads join to the uncovered actin-binding points forming cross-bridges, and while doing so, ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament. Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin. Finally, Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.
Answer:
The correct answer is - B. Lichens.
Explanation:
Lichens are one of the pioneer species that can grow on bare rock such as moraine and help make soil for further ecological succession and making ground for other species.
Breaking the bare rocks to convert into the soil is part of the primary succession. Lichens are colonized over these rocks and they contain acid which leads to the breakdown of the moraine and other rocks.
Kangaroo Rat Adaptations
•barely have to drink H2O because they get it from their seed diet
•have excellent hearing
•back legs enable them to jump up to 2.75 meters to escape predators
Saguaro Cactus
•barely needs H2O because they have a storage pouch that collects H2O when it rains
•has 6 centimeter long spikes to warn off
