**Question 11**

In a resting muscle, the active site on G-actin is blocked by which part of the muscle fiber?

- Myosin
- Troponin
- Nebulin
- Tropomyosin

**Explanation:**
This is a multiple-choice question related to muscle physiology. The question asks which component of the muscle fiber blocks the active site on G-actin when the muscle is at rest.

**Correct Answer:**
- Tropomyosin

**Further Details:**
In resting muscles, tropomyosin covers the active sites on the actin molecules, preventing myosin from binding and thus inhibiting muscle contraction. When a muscle is stimulated, calcium ions bind to troponin, causing a conformational change that moves tropomyosin away from the active sites on actin, allowing myosin to attach and initiate contraction.
