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.

2. The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the ___________ arteriole. The blood flow in the vasa recta runs
lorasvet [3.4K]
<h2>Vasa recta </h2>

Explanation:

The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the efferent arteriole; The blood flow in the vasa recta runs parallel, but in the opposite direction to the flow of tubular filtrate within the nephron loop

  • The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle
  • The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption
  • Absorbed water is returned to the circulatory system via the vasa recta, which surrounds the tips of the loops of Henle
  • Because the blood flow through these capillaries is very slow, any solutes that are reabsorbed into the bloodstream have time to diffuse back into the interstitial fluid, which maintains the solute concentration gradient in the medulla; this passive process is known as counter-current exchange
