Answer:
- Calcium binds to troponin C
- Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
- Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
- ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
- The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
- ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
- ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
- 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.
Answer:
d. An obese person has more and larger fat cells than does a healthy-weight person
Explanation:
Fat cell development is known as adipogenesis. This involves the process whereby adipose tissue in the body increases in growth. This growth occurs as a result of increase in accumulation of fat and lipids in the body .
The adipose tissues are usually found under the skin and it is more in obese patients than in normal healthy weighted person.
Answer:
a. Genotype of male parent= BbNn
Genotype of female parent: bbnn
b: Progeny ratio= 1: 1: 1: 1
c: 1/4
Explanation:
a. Genotype of male parent= BbNn
Genotype of female parent: bbnn
b. Gamete formed by the male parent: BN: Bn: bN: bn in 1:1:1:1 ratio.
Gametes formed by female parent: All gametes with "bn" alleles.
c. The probability that the offspring will have a genotype of Bbnn=
Bb x bb= 1/2 Bb: 1/2 bb
Nn x nn= 1/2 Nn: 1/2 nn
Therefore, probability that the offspring will have a genotype of Bbnn= 1/2 Bb x 1/2 nn= 1/2.
