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.

Muscle protein __binds Ca^(2+) that is released from the sarcoptasmic reticulum.

Assertion (A). In cardiac muscles , impulses are transmitted rapidly . Reason (R) . Gap junctions allow quick passage of ions from one cell to the other.

Read the following statements (i) In cardiac muscle fibres sacroplasmic reticulum is poorly formed (ii)B Blood supply is scanty in case of smooth muscle fibres (iii) Tropomyosin occurs in actin filaments in the form of complexes which are arranged over actin fibres and represent sites where myosin binds to actin. (iv) Salts of citrate and oxalates act as anticoagulants as they precipitate Ca^(2+) Select the correct statements

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.

Assertion: Nitrogen-fixing bacteria of legume nodules live in O_2 depleted cells. Reason: Leghaemoglobin completely removes O_2 from the nodule cells.

Read the following statements regarding muscle contraction (i) One ATP utillised for making and breaking of the cross bridge.
