Name the ion responsible for masking active sites for myosin for cross-bridge activity during muscle contraction

[A] : Upon stimulation of a muscle cell, cal- cium ions (Ca^(++)) are released from the sar- coplasmic reticulum. [R]: In reacting with a protein complex, Ca^(++) unmasks myosin binding sites on the ac-tin filaments.

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.

The myosin myofilament can be cleaved into a head and a tail piece. All of the following are accurate in describing the position of myosin in a sacromere except (i) A-band is the length of a myosin myoilaments (ii) A-band contains thin and thick myofilaments (iii) A-band does not include actin-binding sites

Read the following statements regarding muscle contraction (i) One ATP utillised for making and breaking of the cross bridge. (ii) The sarcomere lies between 2 Z-lines (iii) Troponin blocks the active sites in resting stage (iv) Ca^(++) ions help in unmasking active sites on HMM Choose the correct option
