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.

KonstantinChe [14]
<span>The answer to this question would be: hypertonic, hypotonic

After eating, the intestine is filled with food that will be digested. Food that digested will turn into a much smaller unit of carbohydrate, amino acid and fatty acid that will cause the intestine to have hypertonic solution compared to the blood. This will induce diffusion of some molecule to the intestinal cell, and then to the blood.</span>
