You measure levels of Ca2+ in various locations within a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber when the motor neuron is NOT d

epolarized, and the muscle fiber is at rest. Where do you expect to find high levels of Ca2+?
1. diffusing into the axon terminus of a motor neuron through specialized channels in the plasma membrane
2. bound to troponin
3. within the sarcoplasmic reticulum
4. in vesicles within the motor neuron
5. binding to the receptors at the motor endplate of the muscle cell
6. within the T-tubules
7. bound to myosin
8. bound to tropomyosi

Answer:

The correct answer is 3: "<em>High levels of Ca2+ are expected to be found </em><em>within the sarcoplasmic reticulum</em>".

Explanation:

Muscular contraction is a highly regulated process that depends on free calcium concentration in the cytoplasm. Amounts of cytoplasmic calcium are regulated by <u>sarcoplasmic reticulum</u> that functions as a storage of the ion.

When a nerve impulse reaches the membrane of a muscle fiber, through acetylcholine release,  the membrane depolarizes producing the entrance of calcium from <u>extracellular space</u>. The impulse is transmitted along the membrane to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, from where calcium is released.  At this point, <em>tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament</em>. The calcium channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum controls the ion release, that activates and regulates muscle contraction, by increasing its cytoplasmic levels. When <em>calcium binds to the troponin C</em>, <em>the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites,</em> making possible the formation of <em>cross-bridges between actin and myosin filaments.</em> When myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.

What would happen if all the major mountain ranges, particularly in the north hemisphere were gone? The Rockies, Himalayas, the
mylen [45]

Answer:

These big and hefty mountain ranges are play important role in weather and wind patterns in their related geographical region. Mountain ranges such as Himalayas, Rockies and Alps affects the weather and movement of wind on global level as well.

In absence of these mountains the global pattern of the wind can be affected and cause drastic change in global climate change as they play crucial role as barrier to wind and jet streams by diverting or dividing it.

For instance Himalayas, during the northern winters diverts the wind and acts as barrier for wind which prevents it from freezing. Rockies and Andies blocks the moisture laden winds flow from Pacific Ocean to western flanks of the american continent that leads to a dry region called rain Shadow desert zone.

Hence if these mountain ranges are gone these impacts will not be felt. Similarly Himalayas in India, cause monsoon wind to strike and cause rain in the region. So winds are greatly affected by these Mountains. If these mountain ranges were gone, winds will flow undisturbed as there would be no barrier to global wind patterns.
