Answer:

The correct answer is C: a myosin head bound to actin.

Explanation:

The cross bridge cycle is a series of events that occur during muscle contraction. When muscle contracts, a myosin head (projected from a thick myosin filament) attaches to a thin actin filament <em>(this is the so-called cross bridge).</em> The thin filament also contains tropomyosin and troponin.

Then, a second myosin head binds to ATP and catalyzes it in presence of calcium. This step gives the muscle the energy to contract.

Without calcium, tropomyosin and troponin avoid myosin and actin to interact.

Why do clouds tend to form at 3pm and 6am
Verizon [17]
Clouds form as a result of the condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere. They are made of tiny droplets of water. Clouds tend to form between 3pm and 6pm because this is when the region starts to loose or has completely lost the heat form the daily sun. Water vapor will condense once temperatures are low or are decreasing.
