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

Is natural gas a limited resorce
Mkey [24]

Explanation: Natural gas is a limited resource. Natural gas is in the fossil fuel family and it's underground. I think it's pretty plentiful meaning that there's a lot in the United States of America. Many people use it for home heating instead of heating oil. Some people have oil trucks where the oil truck has to come and deliver oil to them.

So, natural gas is limited resource because it's a fossil fuel and it gives off emissions. It's in the ground and it's from years of decaying stuff. It's not like solar or wind power, it's a limited resource.

The genetic modification of plants is supported by which argument?
Aneli [31]

Thr main arguments were, at the time of allowing this type of prctices, that it will increase the food supply and the types of genetic modified entities were imune to certain natural and/ or industrial pollution factors. However, given the mutations that resulted and the ethcs in the ( economi) strategy, this type of aproach was legally forbiden within the EU, for example

This was simulation. What are some variables that this peppered moths simulation does not address?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The simulation only shows how a population can change overtime in response to the changes in the environment. During the industrial revolution, one particular phenotype of moths had an advantage over the other and hence, was subjected to natural selection. What this simulation does not tell us is the causality and correlation aspect of the change that occurs in the moths. Correlation does not equal causation, and the simulation does not shed any light on these variables in this case.

Explanation:

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
