In the process of muscle contraction, which of the following steps immediately precedes the sliding of tropomyosin causing exposure of actin? binding of acetylcholine to its receptor binding of calcium to troponin exocytosis of acetylcholine at NMJ binding of myosin head to actin's active site binding of ATP to the myosin head
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

In the sliding filament theory of contraction, what prevents the filaments from sliding back to their original positions each time a myosin head releases to bind to next actin binding site?
How could you tell how many cells fused to form a muscle fiber?
During evolution, skeletal muscle became adapted to functional de-mands ranging from sudden, withdrawal movements of a startled worm, to the sustained contractions required to maintain mammalian posture, to supporting a long, fast chase across an African savanna. What are some of the fiber types in vertebrate muscle that evolved to support these kinds of activities?
Which of the following changes takes place when a skeletal muscle contracts?A. Z discs move farther apart.B. Actin filaments contract.C. Myosin filaments contract.D. Sarcomeres become shorter.
Which of the following statements best describes the sliding filament mechanism of muscle contraction? a. Actin and myosin filaments do not shorten, but rather, slide past each other. b. Actin and myosin filaments shorten and slide past each other. c. As they slide past each other, actin filaments shorten, but myosin filaments do not shorten. d. As they slide past each other, myosin filaments shorten, but actin filaments do not shorten.
Where is ATP's energy used during crossbridge cycling? A. When ATP attaches to myosin and causes myosin to pull on actin ("pull" step) B. When ATP attaches to myosin and causes myosin to attach to actin ("grab" step) C. When ATP splits and pushes myosin back into the "cocked" position ("reset" step) D. When ATP attaches to actin and causes actin and myosin to separate ("release" step)
