What structure of the sarcomere shortens during muscle contraction?

Biology
1 answer:
LiRa [457]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The Z lines and H- zone shortens during the muscle contraction.

Explanation:

Sarcomere is the area between the two Z lines. The Z- lines are present in the centre of I - band and H - zone is present in the A - band. The actin filaments which are thin filaments present in I- band and contracts, slide over the myosin filament during contraction.

The I - band, H- zones are became shortens as they are thin than the A- band. It is anisotropic band having thick myosin filaments. They are not flexible and remain in its constant shape during the muscle contraction.

After the muscle contraction, the A- band and the H- zone comes to their original shape. In other words, the sarcomere shortens and comes back during muscle contraction, and relaxation.

Some organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies, have a large and folded structure. What is an advantage of
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In endoplasmic reticulum, many folds leads to an increase in surface area for ribosomes to attach which allows for protein synthesis to occur at an efficient rate.

mitochondria has two membrane,

It has an inner membrane which is folded inside the other. The fold create cristae, which is the site for a portion of cellular respiration.

The folds also enables a large surface area that makes chemical process to occur in an efficient way.
