Answer:

e. bind to troponin which moves the tropomyosin.

Explanation:

Troponin (Tn) is a protein complex composed of three different proteins: troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI), and troponin T (TnT). This complex is found both in skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles, where TnC attaches calcium ions through four and three calcium ion-binding sites, respectively. When a muscle is relaxed, Tn attaches to tropomyosin to prevent muscle contraction. During muscle contraction, calcium channels open and cytosolic calcium ions bind to TnC, thereby Tn changes its conformation and moves the tropomyosin. This process relieves the inhibition of the interaction between actin and myosin filaments, which makes muscle contraction possible.

Alcohol interacts with more types of receptors, neurotransmitters, and genes than do marijuana and cocaine.

Basaltic magma is very fluid. What type of volcano and eruption would basaltic magma most likely produce?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The right option is; C. cinder cone, a pyroclastic flow with no explosion

Basaltic magma is a fluid rock material produced from basalt and it has high amounts of iron and magnesium, and low amounts of silica. Basaltic magma is formed within the earth when a part of the earth's mantle is melted. Basaltic magma produces three different types of lava or volcanic deposits which are scoria, ash or cinder, and lava flows.
