Describe the movement of myosin along an actin filament. Outline the primary molecular steps and explain how this process is used by cells. How many actin monomers within an actin filament would a myosin molecule need to ratchet in order to contract a cell by approximately 1 um? How fast could a non-muscle cell make this contraction compared to a muscle cell if the relative rates of myosin walks on F-actin are 4.5 um/sec and 0.04 um/sec for myosin II and I respectively?
BIO168 Human Anatomy & Physiology I Practice Worksheet B Sequence of muscle contraction Number the following statements in their proper sequence to describe the contraction mechanism in a skeletal muscle cell. _____ A. Acetylcholine is released into the neuromuscular junction by the axonal terminal. _____ B. The action potential, carried deep into the cell, causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions. ____ C. The muscle cell relaxes and lengthens. _____ D. Acetylcholine diffuses across the neuromuscular junction and binds to receptors on the sarcolemma. ____ E. The calcium ion concentration at the myofilaments increases; the myofilaments slide past one another, and the cell shortens. _____ F. Depolarization occurs, and the action potential is generated. _____ G. As calcium is actively reabsorbed into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, its concentration at the myofilaments decreases.
