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.

Which of the following is an example of how the respiratory system interacts with the circulatory system to excrete waste?
katovenus [111]
We do not use carbon dioxide to fuel our blood cells. It is a waste.

Arteries move blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

Veins carry the blood to the heart to be oxidized. 

"D" is not correct. 

"B" is not correct.

We know that veins carry blood to the heart, lungs exhale carbon dioxide. 

"A" is the correct answer.

I hope this helps!

how would you answer a person who says that the geologic column gives support for an earth that is at least 4.6 billion years ol
liubo4ka [24]
<span>The geologic column is a graphic representation of the layers of rock that make up the earth’s crust. By compiling data from local areas, scientists have constructed a composite picture of the earth. Evolutionists would have us believe that this is also a picture of the 4.5 billion year history of the earth. Using a bit of circular reasoning, the geologic column is used as support for biologic evolution, which is then sometimes used to confirm the order of the layers in the geologic column.</span>
