Answer:
Power stroke (myosin head bends) coupled with the release of ADP and phosphate
Explanation:
Muscle contraction results from myosin heads adhering to actin and attracting it inwards. It uses ATP. Myosin adhers to actin at a binding site of its globular actin protein and adheres at another binding site for ATP (hydrolyzed ATP to ADP, Pi and energy)
ATP binding prompts myosin to detach from actin, ATP is changed to ADP and inorganic phosphate, Pi by ATPase. The energy formed at this process orientates myosin head to a “cocked” direction.
The myosin head goes in the direction of the M line, holding the actin with it in the process causing the filaments to orientate nearly 10 nm in the direction of the M line--- power stroke (force is produced), the sarcomere reduces in length and the muscle contracts.
Note: The power stroke is seen when ADP and phosphate disattaches itself from the myosin head.
At the terminal point of the power stroke, the myosin head as low-energy, followed by ADP release.
The attached image shows the cross-bridge muscle contraction cycle, which is activated by Ca2+ sticking to the actin active site. And how actin moves in relation to myosin.
Answer:
Burning fossil fuels moves carbon from the geosphere to the atmosphere.
Explanation:
- Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are produced and stored in the geosphere. i.e. the part of the Earth that includes the Earth's interior, landforms, rocks and minerals.
- Fossil fuels, extracted from the geosphere are burned to generate energy.
- Combustion of fossil fuels releases the stored carbon into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.
In photosynthesis o2 is released while in cellular respiration o2 is taken.
Photosynthesis occur in the presence of sunlight while cellular respiration has no boundations
Both require o2.
Both leads to the formation of new substance.
Ocean currents are caused by many things. One of the main cause is the wind direction. Another cause would be density differences that is made of the temperature and the salinity of water and also currents can also be caused by events like earthquakes causing tsunamis.
Answer:
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. This means to find the number of neutrons you subtract the number of protons from the mass number. On the periodic table, the atomic number is the number of protons, and the atomic mass is the mass number.
