Answer:

  1. Calcium binds to troponin C
  2. Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
  3. Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
  4. ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
  5. The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
  6. ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
  7. ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
  8. Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

Explanation:  

In rest, the tropomyosin inhibits the attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments. Contraction initiates when an action potential depolarizes the inner portion of the muscle fiber. Calcium channels activate in the T tubules membrane, releasing <u>calcium into the sarcolemma.</u> At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to troponin C, troponin T alters the tropomyosin position by moving it and unblocking the binding sites. Myosin heads join to the uncovered actin-binding points forming cross-bridges, and while doing so, ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin. Finally, Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

Which energy source did you rank as the worst option for the rescue team
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The worst option of energy source for the rescue team would be - nuclear, hydroelectric, combustion and fuel burning all are worst option fro max to less worst.

Explanation:

The best option for the energy source for the rescue team would be hand canker, lever as it is mechanical energy generator does not require anything but hand movement to generate energy to charge equipment and easily carry  anywhere.

Solar, wind energy are also helpful for rescue team but nuclear energy, hydropower, fuel burning energy source are risky, not handy and costly options.

Thus, the worst option are-  nuclear, hydroelectric, combustion and fuel burning energy source.

What is the major sink reservoirs for the nitrogen cycle?
Rudiy27

All of these components are reservoirs of carbon. The cycle is usually discussed as four main reservoirs of carbon interconnected by pathways of exchange. The reservoirs are the atmosphere, terrestrial biosphere (usually includes freshwater systems), oceans, and sediments (includes fossil fuels).

Otrada [13]

Since warm air gradually replaces cold air along a warm front, layers of stratus clouds are formed. A continuous drizzly rain tends to fall since stratus clouds typically cover large areas of the sky. Once the front has passed, however, clear and warm weather tends to follow. the answer is stratus clouds and drizzly rain
