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

A mutation in a gene for normal production of plant chlorophyll results in a plant without chlorophyll. Explain the consequences
Nezavi [6.7K]
A plant without chlorophyll would not be able to photosynthesise because chlorophyll serves to absorb sunlight, which is used to break apart the bonds in water during photosynthesis. A plant that is unable to photosynthesise is not able to create glucose, hence it would likely die unless it was receiving glucose through another source. This is because the plant relies on the energy it gets from breaking down glucose for important internal functions.
