Show the relationship between sacomere, thin filament, thick filament, actin, myosin, A bands, I bands, M lines and Z discs.
Sarcomere is the muscle cell.
Thick and thin filaments overlap in the A band region and I band is
formed from thin filaments alone. The M line keeps the thick
filament in position while z disc does the same to thin filaments.
Actin and myosin are the proteins of thin and thick filaments
respectively.

Correctly label the following features of the muscle filament. Thin filament Head Actin Tail Thick filament
Muscle contraction: Select one O a occurs when myosin pulls on actin and the sarcomere shortens b. occurs when actin pushes on myosin and the sarcomere elongates O c occurs when the myosin tail splits the actin filament in half Od occurs when actin and myosin entangle, generating more distance between Z lines
76) G-Actin polymerizes to form F-Actin. 77) Thin filaments are composed exclusively of the protein Myosin. 78) Each thin filament consists of about 250 Myosin molecules 79) The power stroke is generated during the latent phase. 80) Reformation of cross bridges occurs during the contraction-relaxation phase. 81) Creatine phosphate (phosphocreatine) carries extra oxygen in slow oxidative fibers 82) Myosin gives fast oxidative fibers their characteristic color.
According to the sliding filament mechanism of muscle contraction A)the A bands slide in closer between the I bands B)the thin filaments slide inward toward the center of the A band C)the z lines slide in between the T tubules D)the contractile proteins contract, thus shortening the sarcomere E)the filaments slide into the lateral sacs of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
b) Which of the following are true statements about myosin? Select all the true statements. Each myosin head has a binding site for actin and ATP The interaction between myosin and actin converts chemical energy to mechanicall work muscle contraction, thick and thin filaments slide past each other causing an overall lengthening of the muscle. In a muscle cell, myosin tails group together to form a thick filament The myosin-actin reaction cycle is powered by ATP hydrolysis The tail of...

ATP independent d.ATP dependent e. charge dependent QUESTION 2 Which statement about actin is correct? a Actin is expressed only in muscle b. Actin is expressed at low levels in most cells. GNo known function has been described for actin in nonmuscle cells. d. Nonmuscle cells only contain G...

F-actin filament G-actin monomer G- actin monomer marked by a donor chromophore Hypothetical filament 3. The F-actin filament is composed by G-actin monomers. By attaching either a donor(D) or an acceptor (A) chromophore to the G-actin monomer and measuring the energy transfer efficiency to gauge the average distance between G-actin monomers in a F-actin filament (assuming that the monomers are well arranged in DADADADA....sequence), and one finds that the average energy transfer efficiency is 23%. If the...
As actin and myosin filaments slide past each other during muscle contraction, i. actin filaments shorten, while myosin filaments do not ii. myosin filaments shorten, while actin filaments do not iii. both actin and myosin filaments shorten iv. neither actin nor myosin filaments shorten The Ca^2+ required for skeletal muscle contraction i. is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. ii. enters the cell due to the opening of voltage regulated Ca^2+ channels from the T tubules. iii. is actively transported into...
