Answer:

Calcium ions

Explanation:

For muscle contraction to occur, Troponin, a regulatory protein which regulates the tropomyosin, is activated by calcium ions, and is kept at extremely low concentrations in the sarcoplasm. If these calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasm by signals from neurotransmitters, calcium ions bind to troponin, causing conformational changes in troponin that allows tropomyosin to uncover the myosin-binding sites on actin. Tropomyosin a regulatory protein on the myofibril (composed of actin and myosin filaments) must change its conformation and uncover the myosin-binding site (it hides the binding site) on an actin molecule, thereby allowing cross-bridge formation between the actin and the myosin head. Once the tropomyosin is removed, a cross-bridge can form between actin and myosin, triggering muscle contraction.

Besides respiration, what other ways is carbon released into the atmosphere?
Veronika [31]
Carbon cycle, one of the most important elements that make up the structure of living things in an ecosystem carbon. Carbon is found in the structure of all organic compounds in living things. 
Earth is important warehouses;
Atmospheric CO2In the waters of CO2 and HCO3-Land, usually coal, is the structure of the oil and limestone.<span>Photosynthesis by plants using airborne CO2 and O2 is converted to organic compounds. By participating in CO2 carbon all live in the structure of the building is used as a raw organic food energy and structure. In respiratory events again returned to the atmosphere as CO2. If a portion of the carbon is deposited on the ground layer mineral or dead plants and animals through the soil into the organic waste. Here are separated by saprophytes live or coal goes back into the atmosphere through the use of fossil fuels such as oil. However, excessive use of fossil fuels in the atmosphere the CO2 greenhouse effect climate change will bring about in the world, raises a few degrees increase and the consequent danger of melting glaciers at the poles of the temperature.</span><span />
