The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will analyze each statement and fill in the blanks step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Repeated activation of the muscles can lead to the accumulation of (1) to anaerobic breakdown of glycogen in them, causing fatigue." - When muscles are activated repeatedly, they rely on anaerobic metabolism due to insufficient oxygen. This process leads to the accumulation of **lactic acid** in the muscles, which is responsible for causing fatigue. - **Fill in the blank (1)**: **lactic acid** 2. **Statement (ii)**: "The globular head of meromyosin is an active ATPase enzyme and has binding sites for (2) and active sites for (3)." - The globular head of meromyosin, which is part of the myosin molecule, has binding sites for **ATP** (adenosine triphosphate) and active sites for **actin** (the protein that interacts with myosin during muscle contraction). - **Fill in the blank (2)**: **ATP** - **Fill in the blank (3)**: **actin** 3. **Statement (iii)**: "This central part of thick filament, not overlapping by thin filaments is called the (4)." - The central part of the thick filament in a sarcomere that does not overlap with the thin filaments is referred to as the **H-zone**. - **Fill in the blank (4)**: **H-zone** ### Complete Answers: - (1) lactic acid - (2) ATP - (3) actin - (4) H-zone
