- The presence of calcium in the sarcoplasm is directly responsible for exposing the binding sites on actin.
- Rigor mortis occurs after death because detachment of crossbridges does not occur due to the lack of ATP
<h3>What is Sarcoplasm?</h3>
This is defined as the the cytoplasm of striated muscle cells in living organisms .When calcium is present, the binding sites on actin are exposed.
Rigor mortis occurs after death and involves stiffening of the muscle tissue because detachment of cross bridges does not occur due to the lack of ATP.

The fossil record provides evidence of Earth’s changes over time. It's a record keeper of the Earth'd changes over time.
<span>The answer is Haploid spores germinate to give rise to protonema, which later develops into a sporophyte.</span>
A protonema (plural: protonemata) is a
thread-like chain of cells that forms the earliest stage (the haploid phase) of a bryophyte life
cycle..
<span>A haploid gametophyte ( each of whose cells contains a fixed number of
unpaired </span>chromosomes) gives rise to a <span>diploid sporophyte</span>,.
Gametophytes produce haploid sperm and eggs which fuse to form diploid zygotes
that grow into sporophytes.

Please find the explanation to this question below
Explanation:
The ATP cycle is the series of reactions involving glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation that produces/synthesizes ATP in living cells. These processes collectively is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. Glycolysis produces 2ATP molecules, Krebs cycle produces 2ATP while the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation) produces 34ATP molecules.
This cycle of ATP as explained above is an important frequent event in cells because all organisms need energy to carry out their metabolic activities. ATP is the energy-carrying molecule that stores and releases energy for use by the cells, hence, it needs to be produced on a frequent basis.
ATP can be likened to a charged battery ready to release its stored energy. The energy is stored in the phosphate bonds that makes up its structure. When ATP releases its energy, it becomes ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). However, ADP is a reactant in the ATP cycle, which is phosphorylated with an inorganic phosphate (Pi) and catalyzes by ATP synthase to form ATP.
