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

The information in the passage suggests that in mice CRY1 most likely affects XPA by:
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The information in the passage suggests that in mice CRY1 likely affects XPA by repressing the XPA-encoding gene transcription as shown in the graph which indicates a lowering of XPA levels when CRY1 levels is raised.

List several ways in which obelia differs from hydra
allochka39001 [22]

Hydra and Obelia are cnidarians (species of aquatic organisms) that belongs to the Class Hydrozoa.  

Several ways in which Obelia differs from Hydra are;

  1. Hydra is a predative species that lives on substrates such as wood, while Obelia is a colonial species that lives as polyps on  branched frameworks.  
  2. Hydra is found in freshwater habitats, while Obelia is found in marine habitats.
  3. Hydra undergoes the medusa form in its life cycle, while Obelia undergoes the two forms (polyp and medusa) in its life cycle.
  4. Hydra has great regenerative powers while Obelia does not have great regenerative powers.
