All of the following characteristics apply to skeletal muscle except     a. They are striated.     b. They are multinucleated.     c. They are voluntary.     d. They contain intercalated discs.     e. They are attached to the skeleton by means of tendons.
Which is a false statement about skeletal muscle structure?a. A myofibril is composed of multiple muscle fibers.b. Most skeletal muscles attach to bones by connective-tissue tendons.c. Each end of a thick filament is surrounded by six thin filaments.d. A cross-bridge is a portion of the myosin molecule.e. Thin filaments contain actin, tropomyosin, and troponin.
In muscle cells, magnesium ions compete with calcium ions for binding sites on troponin molecules.  If a person has too high a concentration of magnesium ions in the blood, magnesium ions can prevent calcium ions from binding troponin.  A) What effect would this have on muscle contraction (strengthen, weaken, or no effect)?  B) Use your knowledge of how muscle fibers contract to explain your answer in part A.
