When calcium ions are released into muscle fibers, what happens along the actin filament? Multiple Choice The position of the tr

opomyosin threads shift, hiding myosin binding sites, causing the myosin head to move farther away from the actin filament. The position of the tropomyosin threads shift, exposing myosin binding sites, allowing the myosin head to attach to the actin filament. The position of the actin filaments shift, exposing myosin binding sites, causing the myosin head to move farther away from the tropomyosin threads.

Answer:

The correct answer will be options

1. The position of the tropomyosin threads shift

2. Exposing myosin binding sites

3. Allowing the myosin head to attach to the actin filament

Explanation:

Calcium plays an important role in the contraction of muscles especially in the formation of the cross-bridge between myosin and actin filaments.

In the presence of calcium, myosin head binds the actin filament as calcium binds to the troponin which changes the configuration of the troponin which releases the tropomyosin from the myosin-binding site on actin.

Once the myosin binding site is freed, myosin binds the site and causes muscle contraction due to ATP hydrolysis.

Thus, the selected options are the correct answer.

skad [1K]

Answer:

The correct option is <u>B. Lipids</u>

Explanation:

Lipids can be described as molecules which dissolve in non-polar solvents and cannot dissolve in water. The biological function of a lipid molecule is to store energy as well as to structure the shape of cell membranes. Lipids are also used in a cell for signalling.

Lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Some lipids might have phosphorus in them like the phospholipids which make up the cell membrane.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

There are no options in this question but generally a sample of DNA can be increased;

By using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.

Explanation:

This question describes the application of making molecular biology to solving a crime problem; a branch called forensics. In this case where an insufficient small amount of DNA sample was recovered from the blood in a crime scene, the polymerase chain reaction technique, commonly known as PCR can be used to increase the DNA sample.

In the 1980's, a molecular technique used to amplify part of a template DNA strand to produce several copies of it, was invented by Kary Mullis and his colleagues. This amplification refers to the numerical increase in the number of DNA sequence.

In this condition particularly damage one side of the face and eye of the patient.

Symptoms:

Its symptoms include:

  • Miosis (pupil will become small)
  • ptosis (upper eyelid will drooping)
