1. When a muscle shortens during an active contraction, the: a. thick filaments get shorter b. thick filaments get shorter c. Z-lines move closer together d. titin molecules stretch to compensate
Homework Answers
Option a- Thick filaments get shorter is incorrect. Muscle contract when sarcomere shorten, where the thin and thick filaments composing the sarcomere does not shorten instead they they slide on each other which causes sarcomere to shorten where as they remain in same length.

Which of the following statements about skeletal muscle contraction is false? During muscle contraction, the Z discs move closer together as the myosin heads move toward the plus ends of the actin filaments. The changes in voltage across the plasma membrane that occur when a muscle cell receives a signal from the nervous system causes Ca2+ to flow into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, triggering a muscle contraction. An action potential in the muscle cell plasma membrane leads to voltage-gated calcium channels...

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

NAME SID 25. Usted below are different steps that occur during the excitation and contraction of a muscle fiber. Please select the correct sequence in which these stages occur. 1) Ca2+ binds to Tropomyosin, causing a conformational change that unblocks cross-bridge binding sites. 2) The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum is depolarized, which opens up Voltage-Gated Channels that release Ca2+ into the cytoplasm. 3) The Action Potential then travels along the cell membrane and down transverse tubules that extend into the muscle fiber....

Neuron Signaling and Muscle Contraction 1) “Dissect” the various parts of an action potential by describing the status (active or nonactive) of the voltage-gated sodium channel, voltage-gated potassium channel, sodium/potassium pump, and overall voltage and/ or voltage range (in millivolts, or mV) for each of the following. A) Resting membrane (prior to the initiation of an action potential) B) just before threshold to just after threshold (Depolarization) C) Rising phase of the action potential D) Falling phase of the action...
