How does the process of smooth muscle contraction differ from contraction in skeletal muscle?

Biology
1 answer:
Lana71 [14]4 years ago
7 0

Similar to the other types of muscle, smooth muscle contraction is caused by the sliding of myosin and actin filaments over each other. Calcium initiates contractions in a different way in a smooth muscle than in a skeletal muscle.

Smooth muscles use less energy to generate the given amount of force, can substain contractile force without fatigue & uses calcium from the sarcoplasic reticulum & extracellular space.

Compare and contrasts the starch cells found in plants with the fat cells found in animals.
erastovalidia [21]
Both starch in plants and fat cells in animals serve as a store of energy. However, fats in animals are generally stored in fat cells (forming the adipose tissue) while starch in plants is stored in the chloroplasts. Also, fats and starch are 2 totally different compounds with different chemical compositions and structures (I won't elaborate on the types of fats and starches in this thread though).
