Answer:

Troponin

Explanation:

Troponin and tropomyosin are the two regulatory proteins that are involved in switching the muscle contraction on and off. Troponin protein is a component of the thin filament. At the onset of contraction, the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions (Ca2+) into the sarcoplasm. As calcium ions (Ca2+) bind to troponin, it changes shape. This conformational change serves to move the tropomyosin away from myosin-binding sites on actin molecules. Myosin binds to actin and the muscle contraction subsequently begins.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Sunlight.

Explanation:

Sunlight is responsible for proper functioning of stomata present on the leaves because the stomata only opens when there is sunlight and when the stomata opens, carbondioxide gas is absorbed by the leaves from the air while the water is taken from the roots which combines together to form glucose and oxygen. Glucose is stored in different parts of the plant while some oxygen is used by the plants in the process of respiration while the remaining oxygen is released in the atmosphere through stomata.
