Answer:A. The release of calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other.

The contraction of skeletal muscles takes place by induction of a nerve impulse, which produces a movement and the interaction of the filaments containing proteins named as actin and myosin. This interaction of filaments is regulated by proteins  called tropomyosin and troponin present on the actin filaments. The motor nerve causes the depolarization of the muscle membrane sarcolemma. This triggers the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions. This calcium binds to troponin and thus allows the tropomyosine strand on the actin filament to displace so that the part of the actin where myosine head needs to be attached remain uncovered. Binding of the actin myosine filament results in contraction.

Hence, the release of calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other causes muscle contraction.

What do you notice about the two molecules?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

If it's in the table, it's an element! Atoms can join together - they form bonds together - to make MOLECULES. For example, two atoms of hydrogen hook together to form a molecule of hydrogen, H2 for short.

It would have been a little helpful if you added a picture but I hope this is helpful.Thank you!

Explain how oxygen and carbon dioxide move with breathing.
zmey [24]

Answer:

Gas exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelop them. As shown below, inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli.

Why are fats considered as high energy compounds?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

1. Fats contain mostly C-H bonds, it has less oxygen therefore making it a high energy compound

2. mRNA plays a vital role in protein synthesis. It's a single stranded RNA molecule that contains genetic information that can be taken outside the nucleus (unlike DNA which cannot leave the nucleus). Its created during transcrption, and is used during translation to create proteins
