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.
Small tt because there are large TT on the top
Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. this is the answer on APEX
A) .was immediately accepted
Explanation:
The theory of plate tectonics was immediately recognized as the explanation for the moving continents. It provided a more scientific background as why continents drift apart and the seafloor keeps spreading.
- The theory explains that the earth is broken up into series of slabs called lithosphere which moves on the weak, ductile and fluid asthenosphere.
- The movement of part of the earth mantle provided the mechanism through which the lithosphere moves. This is now known as the mantle convection.
- This theory provided a scientific mechanism through which the plate moves and seafloor spreads.
- It was immediately accepted when the theory was propounded by Alfred Holmes in the 1930s

Answer:
Your question was a bit vague... but Crenarchaeota, Euryarchaeota, Korarchaeota, Thaumarchaeota and Nanoarchaeota are the four types of Archaea.
Hope this helps!
