Biology
1 answer:
zaharov [31]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The source of Calcium (Ca⁺⁺) for the skeletal muscle cells is the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the main store of intracellular Ca⁺⁺.

Explanation:

Calcium (Ca⁺⁺) is an ion that plays an important role in muscle contraction, a process that requires high cytoplasmic concentrations of this ion to promote myofibrillary activity.

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) -equivalent to the endoplasmic smooth reticulum- is an organelle that regulates the contractile activity of skeletal muscle. The two terminal cisterns of the SR attach to the T-tube, forming a triad, which surrounds the myofibrilla.

Once the muscle cell receives the signal to contract, the Ca⁺⁺ channels are opened and allow Ca⁺⁺ to enter the cell, promoting the exit of this cation from the SR and increased its cytoplasmic levels. This stimulates muscle contraction.

RNA polymerase catalyzes the addition of many rNTPs to a growing RNA.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

b. Elongation

Explanation:

During the start of the elongation phase of RNA synthesis, the sigma subunit of RNA polymerase of <em>E. coli</em> is released and NusA protein takes its place. This makes the RNA polymerase to move away from the promoter.

During the elongation phase of RNA synthesis, the enzyme DNA dependent RNA polymerase elongates the RNA strand by addition of ribonucleotides to the free 3'-OH end. The process occurs in 5' to 3' direction and the 3'-OH group serves as a nucleophile.
