The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the band in a myofibril that contains only actin filaments, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Structure of Myofibrils**: Myofibrils are the basic rod-like units of a muscle cell and are composed of repeating units called sarcomeres. Each sarcomere contains thick and thin filaments. 2. **Identify the Filaments**: The thick filaments are primarily made of myosin, while the thin filaments are primarily made of actin. 3. **Recognize the Bands in a Sarcomere**: In a sarcomere, there are different bands: - **A Band**: This band contains both thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments. - **I Band**: This band contains only thin filaments (actin) and is lighter in appearance. - **H Zone**: This is the central part of the A band where there are only thick filaments (myosin). 4. **Identify the Band with Only Actin**: Since the question specifically asks for the band that contains only actin filaments, we focus on the I Band. 5. **Conclusion**: The band that contains only actin filaments in a myofibril is known as the **I Band** (also referred to as the isotropic band). ### Final Answer: The band which contains only actin filament in a myofibril is known as the **I Band**. ---
