What are the steps in filament theory

Biology
1 answer:
Inessa [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer and Explanation:

The steps of the sliding filament theory are:

Muscle activation: breakdown of energy (ATP) by myosin.

Before contraction begins, myosin is only associated with a molecule of energy (ATP), which myosin breaks down into its component molecules (ADP + P) causing myosin to change shape.

Muscle contraction: cross-bridge formation

The shape change allows myosin to bind an adjacent actin, creating a cross-bridge.

Recharging: power (pulling) stroke

The cross-bridge formation causes myosin to release ADP+P, change shape, and to pull (slide) actin closer to the center of the myosin molecule.

Relaxaction: cross-bridge detachment

The completion of the pulling stroke further changes the shape of myosin. This allows myosin and ATP to bind, which causes myosin to release actin, destroying the cross-bridge. The cycle is now ready to begin again.

The repeated cycling through these steps generates force (i.e., step 2: cross-bridge formation) and changes in muscle length (i.e., step 3: power stroke), which are necessary to muscle contraction.

The correct answer is B combustion.

Lavoisier’s oxygen theory of combustion was one of his most notable contribution to science and earned him the title of the “father of modern chemistry”. He recognized the combustible property of oxygen and that phosphorus and other metallic elements increased in terms of weight when burned.
