What is needed for the myosin head to attach to the binding site on the actin molecule?

Biology
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The muscle contraction occurs as a result of the sliding of the myofilaments made up of thin actin filaments and thick myosin filaments. The actin contains a binding site for the myosin which is covered with the tropomyosin-troponin complex proteins.  

The troponin contains a binding site for the "calcium" which is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in response to the nerve signals. The calcium binds the troponin and causes conformation changes in tropomyosin which exposes the myosin-binding sites to bind myosin. The myosin binds and forms cross-bridge and cause muscle contraction.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Three organelles found in cells?
Katen [24]

Answer:

1.Plasma membrane

The plasma membrane surrounds the cell to create a barrier between the cytosol and the extracellular matrix. Plasma membranes also enclose lumens of some cellular organelles.

2.Endoplasmic reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large network of membranes responsible for the production of proteins, metabolism and transportation of lipids, and detoxification of poisons. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum with separate functions: smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum. The presence or absence of ribosomes in the ER’s plasma membrane determines whether it is classified as smooth or rough ER.

3.Golgi apparatus

The Golgi apparatus appears as a series of flattened, membranous sacs, or cisternae, that resemble a stack of pancakes just off the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It receives vesicles containing proteins recently produced by the rER. The Golgi apparatus can be compared to a warehouse or post office for newly formed proteins. Here the proteins are further modified, packaged, and sent off to their final destinations in the cell or body.
