The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the proteins found in the filaments of muscle fibers, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Muscle Fiber Structure**: Muscle fibers are made up of myofilaments, which are the basic units of muscle contraction. 2. **Differentiate Between Myofilaments**: There are two types of myofilaments in muscle fibers: - **Thick Myofilaments**: These are primarily composed of the protein **myosin**. - **Thin Myofilaments**: These are primarily composed of the protein **actin**. 3. **List the Proteins**: The two main proteins found in the filaments of muscle fibers are: - **Actin** (found in thin myofilaments) - **Myosin** (found in thick myofilaments) 4. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option A**: Actin and Myosin - This is correct as both are present in muscle fibers. - **Option B**: Myosin and Elastin - Incorrect, as elastin is not found in muscle fibers but in connective tissues. - **Option C**: Actin only - Incorrect, as myosin is also present. - **Option D**: Myelin and Tubulin - Incorrect, as myelin is related to nerve fibers and tubulin is part of the cytoskeleton. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is that the proteins found in the filaments of muscle fibers are **Actin and Myosin**.
