Question
Chapter 10.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The prevention of large collagen fibers from forming intracellularly.
Introduction: The proteins present in the extracellular matrix (ECM) are categorized into adhesive proteins and structural proteins. Collagen and elastin comprise the structural proteins, which provide the ECM its strength and elasticity.

- The formation of the most abundant collagen in the body involves the production of a number of structures: (1) Type I collagen fiber, (2) procollagen, (3) crosslinked collagen fiber, (4) tropocollagen.

Type I is used primarily for aerobic activity, whereas type IIb is specialized for short, intense bursts of activity.

- When ATP binds, what prevents the filaments from sliding back into their original positions?arrow_forwardSkeletal muscle has several distinct fiber types. Type I is used primarily for aerobic activity, whereas type II b is specialized for short, intense bursts of activity. How could you distinguish between these types of muscle fiber if you viewed them with an electron microscope?arrow_forwardIf you were to watch muscle tissue contract: Under a light microscope, would you see the muscle fibers get narrower, or the striations get thinner? Explain. At the EM level, focusing on one sarcomere, you would be able to see a region of thick filaments overlapping two regions of thin filaments. Use the structure of the thick filaments to explain how ONE region of thick filaments is able to pull in microfilament in two opposite directions (both toward the center of the sarcomere).arrow_forward
