Smooth muscle cells lack which protein(s)?

Biology
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]4 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is C. troponin only.

The smooth muscle cells contain similar elements like the cardiac and skeletal muscle cells including actin, myosin and tropomyosin but they contain troponin.

Smooth muscle tissues are non striated and produce their own connective tissue called endomysium. Smooth muscle cells also lack sarcomeres but have other thin and thick filaments along with actin and myosin contractile proteins.

Due to lack of troponin the cross bridge formation is regulated by the regulatory protein calmodulin instead of the troponin- tropomyosin complex.

velikii [3]
Jenna and Allen are both correct. Homeostasis refers to certain processes that take place to keep the body in normal or stable state. Maintaining the body temperature at normal measurement is an example of homeostasis, as well as increasing breathing rate when exercising. Breathing and heart rate is increased to deliver oxygen and glucose to the body more quickly and remove carbon dioxide wastes.

As the fruit develops, why do the petals, stamen, and sepals fall off?
Reil [10]
<span>They have served their purpose and are no longer needed by the plant. 
The plant has "served" their purpose, they have fully grown fruit and they don't need a plant to help them grow anymore. Like when a apple falls out of a tree, they're done being developed. 

Hope this helped! :)</span>

Where is CO2 reduced during the calvin cycle reactions
irina [24]

In fixation, the first stage of the Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions are initiated; CO2 is fixed from an inorganic to an organic molecule. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P; then ATP and NADPH are converted to ADP and NADP+, respectively.
