Answer:

A) the concentration of calcium ions in the sarcoplasm of a resting muscle

Explanation:

Sarcoplasmic reticulum is a system of the membranous sac that is present around each myofibril and is filled with calcium ions. When muscles are in the resting stage, calcium ions are stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

As the muscle action potential triggers change in voltage-gated calcium ion channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the channels are opened to release the calcium ions in the sarcoplasm. Increased calcium ion levels in sarcoplasm make the muscle fibers to contract.

Removal of acetylcholine from the synaptic cleft ends the production of muscle action potential and calcium ions are moved back from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Hence, lower levels of calcium ions are maintained in sarcoplasm when the muscles are in the resting stage.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

c. Proteins and lipids are made on the ER membrane and put in vesicles.

a. Vesicles containing proteins and lipids fuse with the Golgi bodies.

d. The Golgi bodies tag the molecules to signal their ultimate delivery.

b. Vesicles pinched off from the cristernae carry the molecule to its location.

Explanation:

Proteins are made by the ribosome machinery of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The proteins made need to be packaged before they are sent outside the cell to their location. If the proteins are not packaged and tagged, then they will be degraded by different enzymes present in the cell. So, the packaging of the proteins is done by the Golgi-complex. After packaging is done and tags are added to the proteins, the proteins move to the outside of the cell in vesicles.
