Question
Chapter 12, Problem 11RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The entity to which calcium ions bind when muscles are stimulated to contract.
Introduction:
Muscle fibers are cylindrical and have more than one nucleus. They have numerous mitochondria that provide them with energy. Muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils. The calcium ions play an important role in the process of muscle contraction and are required during various stages.
