Cross bridge formation between myosin heads and actin molecules is caused by the elevation of calcium ion concentration in the c

ytosol. During rigor mortis, this elevation of calcium ion concentration in the cytosol is permanent because ________.mitochondria stop producing ATP molecules required by the sarcoplasmic reticulum's calcium ion pumpstroponin molecules bind irreversibly to calcium ions to prevent them from being removed from the cytosoltropomyosin molecules bind irreversibly to calcium ions to prevent them from being removed from the cytosolacetylcholine continues to stimulate the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Answer:

by the sarcoplasmic reticulum's calcium ion pumps

Explanation:

Rigor mortis or postmortem rigidity, is a state caused by chemical changes in the muscles that occur post mortem and  cause the limbs of the corpse to stiffen.

This occurs because after death, there is no cellular respiration and consequently, no oxygen nor ATP (ATP is required for the muscle relaxation).

Calcium enters the cytosol after death because it is released due to the deterioration of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and due to the breakdown of the sarcolemma. Ca2+ ions activate the formation of actin-myosin cross-bridging necessary for the contraction. Muscles are unable to relax, because myosin heads continue to bind with the active sites of actin and there is no ATP to destabilize the myosin-actin bond.

Natalija [7]

Answer: This is an example of organizational heirarchy.

Explanation: These biological structures are designed in a way that the whole system consist of different parts serving its own unique purpose, making up a full functional system. It goes from; atoms, molecules,cells, tissues and organs which makes up a system. Digestive system for example is composed of atoms, molecules,cells, tissues and organs that helps to digest amd convert food into energy(ATP).
