Calcium ions are stored in the sacoplasmic reticulum.  Sarcoplasmic reticulum plays an important role in storage and also acts as a release site for calcium. When calcium is released by the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the muscle it binds to the troponin, thus causing the tropomyosin to shift from the face of the actin filament to which myosin heads need to bind to produce a contraction.

True or false, most lakes grow larger over time due to erosion?
ipn [44]

Answer: False

A lake is a water body that is surrounded by land. The water in the lake comes from melting glaciers, rain, groundwater, rivers. Lake formation also occurs when a water body is restricted to it's natural flow. Erosion due to wind  and water will limit the life of lake. As, soil removed during landslides or mudslides from hills or mountains get settled as debris at the bottom of lake will cause water pollution. Also, soil coming from agricultural field through water will carry in it fertilizers ,which will promote excessive plant and algal growth in lakes therefore, oxygen content of lake water will decrease which lead to death of animals residing in lake hence, will ultimately lead to water pollution ,which will be responsible for limiting the life of lake.
