What are the steps of the sliding filament model? Select all that apply. Sarcomeres are in a relaxed state, in which myosin-binding sites on actin are blocked. When a nervous signal excites the muscle, myosin-binding sites on actin open up and myosin binds to actin. The myosin heads hydrolyze ATP to ADP and P,. The binding of myosin to actin releases phosphate and triggers a power stroke. ATP binds to myosin, and the myosin releases its grip on actin, returning to a relaxed state.

Figure 38.37 Which of the following statements about muscle contraction is true? The power stroke occurs when ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and phosphate. The power stroke occurs when ADP and phosphate dissociate from the myosin head. The power stroke occurs when ADP and phosphate dissociate from the actin active site. The power stroke occurs when Ca2+ binds the calcium head.
The _____ is the basic unit of muscle contraction. a. myofibril b. sarcomere c. muscle fiber d. myosin filament
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/micromacro) to learn more about macro- and microstructures of skeletal muscles. (a) What are the names of the junction points between sarcomeres? (b) What are the names of the subunits within the myofibrils that run the length of skeletal muscle fibers? (c) What is the â€œdouble strand of pearlsâ€� described in the video? (d) What gives a skeletal muscle fiber its striated appearance?
How do actin and myosin interact in a sarcomere to bring about muscle contraction? What roles do ATP and calcium play?
In a skeletal muscle if calcium levels in the cytosol increase, as calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR,) how would this affect the position of the actin and myosin filaments? Group of answer choices Calcium released from the SR binds to calmodulin. Calmodulin activates myosin light chain kinase, causing cross bridge formation. Calcium released from the SR binds to troponin, moving tropomyosin and allowing for cross bridge formation. Calcium released from the SR binds to troponin, moving tropomyosin and inhibiting cross bridge formation. Calcium released from the SR binds to troponin, causing actin to detach from myosin. pick one answer
Which of the following statements are true? (choose all that apply) The Z-disc is found in the middle of an l-band Myosin are known as the thick filaments The A-band is seen as "dark" under the microscope Tropomyosin is on the Actin filament During a muscle contraction, the sarcomeres move farther apart A sarcomere is located from one H-zone to the following H-zone
For the skeletal muscle, hydrolyzation of ATP: Group of answer choices At the myosin head gives rise to the generation of power stroke. At the actin G-molecule gives rise to the generation of power stroke. At the myosin head give rise to the rotation of myosin head to the "cocked back" position. At the actin G-molecule give rise to the rotation of myosin head to the "cocked back" position.
Using the sliding filament theory, explain (or draw) the process of sarcomere shortening. Start from the point where calcium would interact with troponin. Make sure to discuss the roles of actin, myosin, and ATP.
Myosin filaments iterdigitate with actin filaments in order to bring about muscle contraction. Provide below the 5 steps that are required for Myosin to move along actin.
In the process of muscle contraction, which of the following steps requires hydrolysis of ATP to complete? movement of myosin head, pulling the thin filament binding of myosin head to active site on actin resetting of the myosin head back to its ready position letting go of myosin head from the active site on actin sliding of tropomyosin causing exposure of actin
The sliding filament model depicts how myosin motors attached to actin lead to muscle contraction. This process proceeds in a precise series of events. Indicate which of the following shows the correct order of steps in the sliding filament model. Group of answer choices Myosin binds ATP; myosin tightly binds actin; power stroke; myosin releases actin Myosin binds GTP; myosin releases actin; power stroke; myosin tightly binds actin Actin binds ATP; power stroke; myosin tightly binds actin; actin releases ADP Actin binds ADP; myosin releases actin; power stroke; actin releases ADP
Why is ATP required for skeletal muscle contraction? Choose all that apply. Release myosin and actin and reset the myosin head ATP causes rigor mortis Attaching ATP to the myosin head initiates the power stroke Pump calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum via active transport ATP is not required for skeletal muscle contraction
