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.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The cytoplasm is a jelly like substance that supports and suspends organelles and molecules inside the cell. It also helps move and dissolve materials throughout the cell including waste molecules, proteins, and hormones.

I hope this helps! I tried to keep it short and simple. :)

A strand of DNA has the bases AGTAAC. Using letters, show the matching DNA strand.
kkurt [141]
The matching DNA strand would be A - T, G - C, A -T, A - T, C - G, or in other words TCTTG (because you had the strand AGTAAC). 

Always remember that A pairs with T, G pairs with C, T obviously pairs with A, and C obviously with G.
