Actin and myosin proteins related with

A

`Na^(+)` and `K^(+)` pump

B

Muscle contraction

C

Nervous system

D

Excretion of water prouducts

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Actin and myosin are related with muscle contraction. In muscle contration, overlapping of atin and myosin molecules interact to from actomyosin complex.

Are actin and myosin proteins confined to muscle cells?

Which of the following statements about the molecular arrangement of actin and mysin In myofibre is/are incorrect ? (i) Each actin (thin filament) is made of 2F (filamentous) actins. (ii) F-actin is the polymer of G (globular) actin. (iii) 2F0actins are twisted into a helix. (iv) Two strands of tropomyosin (protein) lie in the grooves of F-actin. (v) Troponin molecules (complex proteins) are distributed at regular intervals on the tropomyosin. (vi) Troponin forms the head of the myosin molecule. (vii) The myosin is a polymerised protein.

In the skeletal muscle, the interaction between actin and myosin filaments is triggered by

Consider the diagram of thin myofilament. Now, read carefully the statements about molecular arrangement of actin and myosin in the filament. I. Each actin (thin filament ) is made up of 2 F-(filamentous) actins. II. F-actin is the polymer of G-(globular) actin. III. Two-F-actins are twisted into a helix. IV. Two strands of tropomyosin run along the entire length of F-actin. Choose the correct option.

Assertion: Striated appeannce of skeletal muscle is due to the distribution pattern of two impomnt protein Actin and Myosin. Reason: Actin filaments are thinner as compared to the myosin filaments. hence are commonly called duck and thm tilaments mpectnely
