The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about the thick filament in muscles, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Muscle Structure**: - Muscles are made up of structures called myofibrils. - Myofibrils consist of two types of filaments: thick filaments and thin filaments. 2. **Identifying the Filaments**: - The thin filament is primarily composed of a protein called actin. - The thick filament is primarily composed of a protein called myosin. 3. **Composition of Myosin**: - Myosin is a polymerized protein, meaning it is made up of smaller units called monomers. - The monomers that make up myosin are known as meromycins. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the thick filament in muscles is a polymerized protein of meromycins. ### Final Answer: The thick filament in muscles is a polymerized protein of **meromycins**. ---
