The correct answer is that "t<span>roponin holds the tropomyosin in place on the actin".
In excitation-contraction coupling, tropomyosin prevents the interaction between actin and myosin in resting muscles. In the event of excitation, there is release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum wherein the troponin will bind this calcium and will release tropomyosin and expose myosin enabling it to attach to actin and therefore facilitating muscle contraction.</span>
The truth about blood buffering is that 1). mantains the ph of blood near to 7.4. 2) utilizes the H2CO3/HCO3– conjugate acid/base pair and 3) is facilitated by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which interconverts carbon dioxide and water to carbonic acid. Have in mind that the buffer is written as the following: <span>CO2(aq) + H2O(l) <==> H+(aq) + HCO3^-(aq) </span>
