Skeletal muscle contraction requires large amounts of energy in the form of _____________________ in order to complete the seque

nce of cyclic events that lead to sarcomere shortening.
Biology
1 answer:
Elis [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

ATP

Explanation:

ATP is essential for both contraction and relaxation of muscles, with calcium being the main factor for the affinity between actin and myosin, in order to reach the sarcomere shortening phase.

The function of ATP is to release energy for the occurrence of movement, in addition to other actions. While there is calcium bound to troponin, there is cross-bridge(projections of actin filaments) cycling and muscle contraction.

Thus, ATP has three main functions in muscle contraction:

Providing energy to shorten the sarcomere, enabling actomyosinic shutdown by physical-chemical interaction to the thick filament and supporting the calcium pump, which ends the cycling of the cross bridges.

Why are the moon’s craters preserved?
Bingel [31]
The main reason is that there is no atmosphere. This means that there is no weather and no weather means that there is no wind or rain. Wind and rain are main components of erosion and because there is no erosion, craters can stay preserved for a very long time.

Our brain receives signals from each of these organs, and interprets them to give us a sense of what's happening around us.
