What happens to the actin and myosin during a muscle contraction?

Biology
1 answer:
GuDViN [60]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<u>Once the myosin-binding sites are exposed, and if sufficient ATP is present, myosin binds to actin to begin cross-bridge cycling. Then the sarcomere shortens and the muscle contracts. In the absence of calcium, this binding does not occur, so the presence of free calcium is an important regulator of muscle contraction.</u>

A plant scientist was hired by a greenhouse operator to devise a way to force iris plants to bloom in the short days of winter.
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Interrupt the long winter nights with a brief period of light.

Explanation:

Long day plants, also called short night plants, flower when the dark period is equal or less than the critical period specific for the species. These plants normally flower in summers when nights are short and days are longer. Winters have a long dark period and do not support flowering in shirt night plants.

A continuous dark period is critical for flowering. A short night plant can flower in winters (having longer dark periods) if the dark period is interrupted by exposing the plant with a flash of light. To make short night plants, such as iris to flower in winters, the plant should be given short period of light after completion of critical dark period.

Single strands of nucleic acids are directional, meaning that there are two different ends. What functional groups define the tw
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The functional groups that define the two different ends of a single strand of nucleic acids are:

B. a free hydroxyl group on the 5' carbon a free hydroxyl group on the 3' carbon

G. a free phosphate group on the 5' carbon

Explanation:

A nucleic acid is a polymer formed of nucleotides that are linked with a phosphodiester bond. The structure of a nucleotide consists on a phosphate group linked to a pentose (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) that is also attached to a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA).

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids which can be found in a double or single strand presentation.

Nucleic acids are synthesize in the 5’ to 3’ direction, so that is why the convention is that the sequences are written and read in that direction.

The strand of a nucleic acid is directional with an end-to-end orientation, where the 5’ end has a free hydroxyl or phosphate group on the 5' carbon of the terminal pentose, and the 3’ end has a free hydroxyl group on the 3’ carbon on the terminal pentose (ribose/ deoxyribose).
