The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "when the muscle fiber contracts, the sarcomere length is reduced." - A sarcomere is the basic unit of a muscle fiber, consisting of thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments. During muscle contraction, the thin filaments slide over the thick filaments, causing the sarcomere to shorten. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "the sliding of myosin filament occurs due to rotational movement of myosin head." - In muscle contraction, it is actually the actin filaments that slide over the myosin filaments, not the other way around. The myosin heads do pivot or rotate to pull the actin filaments, but the statement implies that the myosin itself is sliding, which is incorrect. - Hence, the reason is **false**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false.

Assertion : Contraction of a muscle fibre takes place by the sliding of the thin filaments over the thick filaments. Reason : The central part of thick filament is not overlapped by thin filaments in a resting state.

During contraction of a muscle fibre, the length of sarcomere decreases due to decrease in length of

Assertion: Mechanism of muscle contraction is expalained by sliding-filaments theory. Reason: Contraction of muscle fibre takes place by the sliding of thick filaments over the thin filaments.

If a small load is attached to a muscle that is then tetanically stimulated, the muscle will lift the load in an isotonic contraction over a certain distance and then stop shortening and enter a state of isometric contraction. If a heavier load is used, the distance shortened before entering an isometric contraction is shorter. Explain these shortening limits in terms of the sliding filament model of contraction and the length-tension relation.

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 .

Assertion. Rigor mortis is the state of body stiffening prior to death. Reason. It is due to relaxation of actin and myosin filaments.

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

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

(b (b) If both Assertion and Reason are true, but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion. (c) If Assertion is true, but Reason is false . (d) If both Assertion and Reason are false.

Assertion : Zr and Hf occur together in nature andare difficult to separate. Reason : Zr and Hf have identical radii due to lanthanide contraction.
