What structure of the sarcomere shortens during muscle contraction?

Biology

LiRa [457]3 years ago

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.

Which amino acids are the primary nitrogen donors for biosynthetic reactions in the cell?
prohojiy [21]
Glutamine and glutamate are the primary nitrogen donors for biosynthetic reactions in the cell.  Glutamine is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Its side chain is similar to that of glutamic acid, except the carboxylic acid group is replaced by an amide. It is classified as a charge-neutral, polar amino acid. It is non-essential and conditionally essential in humans, meaning the body can usually synthesize sufficient amounts of it, but in some instances of stress, the body's demand for glutamine increases, and glutamine must be obtained from the diet. Glutamate is generally acknowledged to be the most important transmitter for normal brain function. Nearly all excitatory neurons in the central nervous system<span> are glutamatergic, and it is estimated that over half of all brain synapses release this agent. Glutamate plays an especially important role in clinical neurology because elevated concentrations of extracellular glutamate, released as a result of neural injury, are toxic to neurons</span>
