The correct answer is hydrogen bonds.

Snottite is a product of extremophilic bacteria which hang from the walls and ceilings of caves and are similar to stalactites, but have the consistency of nasal mucus.The main component of snottite is a sulphuric acid which is a waste product of bacteria.

The long slender strands found in the caves are secretions of the glow worms that dwell there. The strands are sticky and glow in the darkness of the cave. Their purpose is to catch the insects by attracting to light and get them stuck to the strands. The strands are attached to the roof of the cave by adhesion. The strands contain urea and uric acid. Urea is considered to a bonding agent based on its use in the adhesive industry. Thus the strands are probably being held in place by the urea and uric acid making an adhesive bond with the roof of the cave.

Muscle contractions
lapo4ka [179]
This is when. The sequence of events that result in the contraction of an individual muscle fiber begins with a signal—the neurotransmitter, ACh—from the motor neuron innervating that fiber. The local membrane of the fiber will depolarize as positively charged sodium ions (Na+) enter, triggering an action potential that spreads to the rest of the membrane will depolarize, including the T-tubules. This triggers the release of calcium ions (Ca++) from storage in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The Ca++ then initiates contraction, which is sustained by ATP (Figure 1). As long as Ca++ ions remain in the sarcoplasm to bind to troponin, which keeps the actin-binding sites “unshielded,” and as long as ATP is available to drive the cross-bridge cycling and the pulling of actin strands by myosin, the muscle fiber will continue to shorten to an anatomical limit.
