Which statement or statements describe the role of calcium in the stimulation of muscle fibers?  Select all that apply.    When the action potential reaches the axon terminals of a neuron, calcium channels open and calcium floods into the axon terminal, triggering the release of synaptic vesicles.   When calcium ions flood out of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, they bind troponin molecules and troponin removes tropomyosin from the active sites on thin filaments.   When myosin thick filaments are walking along actin thin filaments (the cross bridge cycle), calcium ions must be available to bind to myosin so that it can let go of the thin filaments and take another "step".   When synaptic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane of axon terminals, calcium is released into the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors in the motor end plate.

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
