__________ions are necessary to activate the binding sites on the actin filaments.

Biology
1 answer:
Tanya [424]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Calcium ion is necessary to activate the binding sites on the actin molecules.

The molecule ATP is required each time the mysoin head detached from one sites and reattached.

Explanation:

Depolarization of sarcomere recticulum causes it to release calcium ion. Calcium ion then bind to troponin and reconfigure the complex exposing the binding sites to myosin head on the actin filaments.

The cellular importance of motor is to deliver ATP dependent force impulse to actin molecule.

When ATP molecule bind, the mysoin head detaches from old binding sites of actin, reattaches to new actin monomer. When ATP is hydrolysed, it changes conformation causing actin to slide in respect to myosin.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is peas have characteristics that have two forms.

Gregor Mendel used pea plant  <em>Pisum sativum </em>as a model plant for his experiments. There are many applications behind his choice, one of which is observable characteristics with contrasting traits.

Pea plant has many observable characteristics which exist in two forms for example:

  • Plant size (tall or dwarf)
  • Pea color (green or yellow)
  • Pod shape (yellow or green)
  • Flower color (purple or white)
  • Pea shape (round or wrinkled)

Other benefits were like: short life cycle, it produces a good number of offspring in a cross, easy to breed or cross-pollinate, hybrids were liable, bisexual flowers which makes it easy to produce true-breeding etc.

Usimov [2.4K]

Solution:

A basic amino acid which is a constituent of most proteins. It is an essential nutrient in the diet of vertebrates.  

Proteins: the macromolecule and the monomer: Proteins are about 50% of the dry weight of most cells, and are the most complex of the macromolecules we will talk about, because there are 20 different monomers or building blocks, called amino acids.

Thus this is the required answer.
