Assertion : Ca^(2+) plays important role in the muscle contraction. Reason : Ca^(2+) Combines with troponin chain, displacing tropomyosin allowing the myosin head part to combine with actin to from actomyosin complex .

In resting stage, binding sites for myosin on actin filaments are masked by

Arrange the following events of muscle contraction in the sequence : (i) Generate an action potential in the sarcolemma (ii) Form a cross bridge (iii) Release a neurotransmitter (Acetylcholine) (iv) Release of calcium ions in sarcoplasm (v) Pulls the attached actin filaments towards the centre of "A" band (vi) Remove the masking of active sites for myosin The correct option is :-

During muscular contraction, the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin to form a

The steps involved in the mechanism of muscle contraction are given below. Arrange the steps in proper sequential order and select the correct option. I. Release of calcium ions in the sarcoplasm. II. Signal sent by the CNS via a motor neuron. III. Binding of calcium with a subunit of troponin on actin filaments. IV. Generation of the action potential in the sarcolemma. V. Binding of myosin head to the exposed active sites on actin to form a cross-bridge. VI. Inward pulling of ‘Z’ line attached to actin causing shortening of the sarcomere. VII. Pulling of the attached actin filaments towards the centre of 'A' band. VIII. Release of neurotransmitter acetylcholine and generation of the action potential in the sarcolemma.

Assertion : During muscle contraction I-band and A-band get reduced. Reason :- During contraction thin filament slides over myosin filament.

Assertion : Cofactor play a crucial role in the catalytic acitivity of the enzymes. Reason : Catalytic activity is lost when the co-factor is removed from the enzyme.

In the resting state , which protein masks the active binding sites of actin filaments ?

Assertion :- When the muscle fibre contracts, sacromere length is reduced. Reason :- Sliding of myosin filament occurs due to rotational movement of myosin head.

Go through the following statements During muscle contraction, the width of A-band remains constant while I-band shortens. During muscle contraction, the Ca^(2+) released from the SR bind to the troponin component of thin filament The process of muscle contraction is faster in smooth muscle as they have a well developed sarcoplasmic reticulum. The red muscle fibres have abundant mitochondria, low glycogen and poorly formed sarcoplasmic reticulum.
