Please also describe how actin-binding sites are made available for cross-bridging with myosin heads during contraction.

Biology

yaroslaw [1]3 years ago

Answer: The calcium ion binds to troponin, and this slides the tropomyosin rods away from the binding sites.

Explanation:

Contraction and relaxation of muscle cells brings about movements of the body. The contractile myofilament called sarcomeres are bounded at each end by a dense stripe called the Z - line, to which the myosin fibres are attached, and lying in the middle of the sarcomere are the actin filaments, overlapping with the myosin.

When action potential spreads from the nerve along the sarcolemma (muscle cell membrane), it penetrates deep into the muscle cell through the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm of muscle cell), and releases CALCIUM from the intracellular stores.CALCIUM triggers the binding of myosin to the actin filament next to it forming CROSS BRIDGES.

For this to occur, ACTIN BINDING SITE has to be made available. TROPOMYOSIN is a protein that winds around the chains of the actin filament and covers the myosin-binding sites to prevent actin from binding to myosin. The first step in the process of contraction is for calcium ions to bind to troponin so that tropomyosin can slide away from the binding sites on the actin strands.

What is the only reasonable and ethical way to achieve zero population growth
dybincka [34]

Answer:

By not having more offspring.

Explanation:

There are many ways of reaching a zero population growth, but some of them are 0% ethical. But, if the population stops having offspring, there won't be a population growth, instead, the population will decrease in number.

  • In 2017 the country with the biggest population was China, and the country with the biggest population growth in that same year was South Sudan, with a 3,83% population growth, according to statista and IndexMundi
  • Currently, in 2019, China still is the country with the biggest population, and, as for the highest population growth this year, we will only be able to say with 100% certainty when the year ends.

The correct answer is rapids and waterfalls.  

Rapids refers to the segments of streams with extensively vigorous currents, various obstacles, and steps in their streambeds. A waterfall refers to a vertical drop in a stream bed. Both are the locations of vigorous erosion.  

The rapids are generally produced where the resilient bedrock limits a stream to a narrow channel and forces an enhancement in the velocity of water.  

On the other hand, waterfalls are produced where the fast-flowing water negotiates a geologic contact amid the more resilient and less resistant layers of rock, or through a fault, which has analogized distinct kinds of rocks. Or it can be said that waterfalls usually produce at the end of a series of rapids.
