grigory [225]

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

Three of the boxes contain an Upper case F, therefore 75% of the boxes have an Upper case F. It's like quarters, if you have 4 quarters you have 100 cents, if you have 3 you have 75 cents, if you have 2 you have 50 cents, and if you have 1 you have 25 cents.

When a muscle cell contracts, Group of answer choices the position of each myosin head is identical at any given moment. some my
White raven [17]

Answer:

When a muscle cell contracts, the myosin heads each produce a single power stroke.

Explanation:

In rest, attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments are inhibited by the tropomyosin. When the muscle fiber membrane depolarizes, the action potential caused by this depolarization enters the t-tubules depolarizing the inner portion of the muscle fiber. This activates calcium channels in the T tubules membrane and releases calcium into the sarcolemma. At this point, <em>tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament</em>. When calcium binds to the troponin C, the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites. Myosin heads bind to the uncovered actin-binding sites forming cross-bridges, and while doing it ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate which is liberated. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, <u>producing a power stroke</u>. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin.  Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.

1. Compare and contrast ATP and NADH.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Glycolysis produces 4 ATP molecules, giving it a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. The four high energy electrons that are removed by glycolysis are picked by an electron carrier called NAD. NAD becomes NADH.As it spins it grabs an ADP molecule and attaches a phosphate, forming high energy ATP.

Explanation:

Both NADPH and ATP are phosphorylated compounds, both are very important catabolic as well as anabolic processes. To explain the difference, their respective functions/roles in biochemical processes should be described along with relevant chemical properties.

ATP (Adenosine triphospahte) is called an energy rich molecule because of the large negative free energy of its hydrolysis (And has nothing to do with high bond energy).

30.5 kilo Joules or 7.3 kilo calorie energy is liberated after hydrolysis of one ATP molecule to form ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate.The reaction is almost irreversible
