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

Elis [28]2 years ago

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.

sukhopar [10]
<h2>GREETINGS!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

<u>ANSWER</u><u>:</u>

<h2><u>DEFINITIONS</u></h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3><u>VOLUNTARY MUSCLES:</u></h3>

Voluntary muscles are those muscles which work under our conscious control and can be controlled at will also we can choose choose them when to use and when not to use. These are simply SKELETAL MUSCLES attached to the bone, so all the movements of hand and legs and whatever u do are because of voluntary muscles.

<h3><u>__________________________________________________</u></h3><h3><u>INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES:</u></h3>

the muscles in the human body that do not work under our will and we cant control them. They are mainly controlled by the autonomic nervous system in the body. So, involuntary muscles include all the muscles whose activity which is not controlled by our NERVES. They are also called SMOOTH MUSCLES since they are present as the visceral layer over the organs.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>DIFFERENCES</h2>

1)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are under our control but INVOLUNTARY                 MUSCLES are not under our control

2)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are also known as skeletal muscles but INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES are also known as smooth muscles

3)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are attached to the bones in the body, but INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES are attached to the soft hollow internal organs.

4)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are controlled by the somatic nervous system. INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

5)      VOLUNTARY MSUCLES  require more energy. INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES require less energy.

When you look at the Sun through a filtered telescope, you notice a blotchy appearance.
e-lub [12.9K]

This appearance is called granulation which is caused by the convection of the hot material inside the sun which go up and down the surface of the sun. Because of its sandy texture it is sometimes called lemon peel or rice grain.
