Calcium ions bind to troponin-tropomyosin molecules located on the grooves of the actin filaments. upon binding with calcium ions, troponin changes shapes and moves tropomyosin out of the groove which the tropomyosin normally blocks the actin myosin binding points. This facilitates creation of the myosin-actin crossbridges which are the basis of contraction of muscles. ATP is the form of energy required to facilitate the creation of cross bridges and movement of calcium ions

Laney is asked to research an organism that performs denitrification. Which strategy is the MOST LIKELY to be successful?

arlik [135]

The correct answer is option D, that is, look for soil bacteria, which transforms nitrates into nitrogen gas.

A microbial mediated procedure where nitrate is reduced and eventually generating molecular nitrogen via an array of intermediate gaseous nitrogen gaseous outcomes is known as denitrification.

It is generally the withdrawal or the loss of nitrogen or nitrogen components, mainly the reduction of nitrites or nitrates by the bacteria in the soil, which usually leads to the escape of nitrogen into the atmosphere.
