Answer: The correct order of the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction is third ( that is 3,1,2,4) -

1) Calcium pumps of the sarcoplasmic reticulum opens.

2) Calcium binds to troponin.

3) Troponin moves.

4)  Myosin heads bend to attach to actin filaments.

During muscle contraction, the thin filaments ( actin filaments) slide pass over the thick filaments ( myosin) and the sarcomere ( unit of muscle contraction ) becomes short. This is explained through sliding filament theory.

When action potential arrives at sarcoplasmic reticulum, calcium ions are released and arrive at sarcomere. They bind to troponin that changes its shape, removing tropomyosin from active sites on actin. Myosin binds to actin and pulls it towards the center of sarcomere ( crossbridge formation that is the contraction phase). Finally, when action potential ends, calcium ions are sequestered back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum and tropomyosin restores the blocking of active site on actin.

I would agree with your answer of C. As there would need to be calcium to start with and they seem to come from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

DaniilM [7]
Once you have stopped for a school bus, do not pass until the driver signals you to proceed, the red lights stop flashing, or the bus starts moving ahead. Whenever a vehicle ahead of you stops to let  a pedestrian pass in front of you, you should stay in line and until the vehicle ahead proceeds.
