A mutation has occurred that prevents ATP from binding from the heads of myosin. What impact would this have (if any) on human muscle contraction?   Select one: a. ATP has no impact on myosin binding. Myosin, unlike kinesins, works with GTP. b. Without ATP, myosin will be stuck to microfilaments, causing muscles to be “stuck” in whatever position they were last in. c. Without ATP, myosin will not be able to bind to microtubules and move vesicles or chromosomes around the cell resulting in cell death. d. Without ATP, myosin will be stuck to intermediate filaments “locking” organelles in place in the cell.

Muscle Action

A change in the body or a bodily organ as a result of its functioning is referred to as an action. Muscle action can be defined as the specific movement of a bodily part generated by the contraction of a muscle. The muscle proteins actin and myosin are the important contractile proteins involved in muscle action. Muscle contraction, in addition to movement, serves several other important functions in the body, including posture, heat generation, and joint stability. Muscle contraction maintains posture, which includes standing and sitting.
