What is required to initiate the coupling of myosin to actin?

Biology
1 answer:
VladimirAG [237]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<h2>Calcium ions</h2>

Explanation:

The actin and myosin are the myofilaments which are involved in the contraction and relaxation of the muscle. The actin is thin filaments and contains the attachment site for the myosin but the site is blocked by the tropomyosin and troponin proteins.  

When calcium ions present in the muscle binds to the troponin molecules, it changes the conformation of the tropomyosin. This change exposes the attachment site of the myosin and then the myosin binds the troponin and causes Powerstroke and leads to contraction of a muscle.

Thus, Calcium ions is correct.

During metamorphosis, a tadpole's tail is reduced in size by the process of ______. A. regeneration B. apoptosis C. oxidative ph
jolli1 [7]

The process of apoptosis, I believe, is when the tadpole's tail is reduced in size during metamorphosis.

In most animal phyla, metamorphosis actually takes place in conjunction with morphological, ecological, and physiological changes.

Marine invertebrates' larva behaves as a drifting tiny creature in the ocean, expanding its habitat distribution to find the best location for its survival.

When muscle cells undergo apoptosis, which is the final stage of their metamorphosis, they are split into membrane-bound muscle fragments and consumed by macrophages.

As a tadpole becomes a frog, apoptosis occurs. The cells in its tail are induced and it will be lost.
