Answer: The calcium ion binds to troponin, and this slides the tropomyosin rods away from the binding sites.
Explanation:
Contraction and relaxation of muscle cells brings about movements of the body. The contractile myofilament called sarcomeres are bounded at each end by a dense stripe called the Z - line, to which the myosin fibres are attached, and lying in the middle of the sarcomere are the actin filaments, overlapping with the myosin.
When action potential spreads from the nerve along the sarcolemma (muscle cell membrane), it penetrates deep into the muscle cell through the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm of muscle cell), and releases CALCIUM from the intracellular stores.CALCIUM triggers the binding of myosin to the actin filament next to it forming CROSS BRIDGES.
For this to occur, ACTIN BINDING SITE has to be made available. TROPOMYOSIN is a protein that winds around the chains of the actin filament and covers the myosin-binding sites to prevent actin from binding to myosin. The first step in the process of contraction is for calcium ions to bind to troponin so that tropomyosin can slide away from the binding sites on the actin strands.
The correct answer is D. Tortoises and snails have analogous organs, and they don't belong to the same species.
A) Net movement in osmosis is from areas of higher water concentration to areas of lower water concentration. Net movement in diffusion occurs from areas of higher solute concentration to areas of lower solute concentration.
This happens so that both solution have roughly the same concentration
B is the most effective and feasible, and it prevents the initial introdution of the species
C. Shield Volcano.. think of Hawaiian volcanoes,they are basaltic eruptions, very effusive and unexplosive and are characterised by slow lava movement and very little tephra from the eruption. The basalt erupted is very hard, dense rock and so can be built up easily.
