Assertion: on stimulation, a muscle cell releases calcium ions `(Ca^(2+))` from sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Reason: By reacting with a protien complex, `Ca^(2+)` uncover active sites on the actin filaments.

[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.

Which muscle protein binds with calcium ions that are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum?

Assertion: Plants absorb calcium from soil in the form of calcium ions (Ca^(2+)) Reason: Calcium is required by meristematic and differentiating tissues.

During muscle contraction, what could be the correct sequence ? A. Release of calcium ions into the sarcoplasm. B. Release of Acetylcholine. C. Sliding of actin filaments over each other. D. Break down of ATP to form a cross bridge.

Assertion :- Prothrombinase enzymes converts prothrombin into active thrombin. Reason : Thromboplastin react with plasma protein in the presence of Ca^(+2) ions to form prothrombinase.

Assertion :- Skeletal muscle fibre is synctium as the sarcoplasm contains many nuclei. Reason :- The sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle fibre is the store house of calcium ions. (a) If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion . (b) If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion (c) If Assertion is True but the Reason is False. (d) If both Assertion & Reason are false.

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.
