True or False | Definitions | Mystery | Figures 10.13 and 10.14 | Identification |
---|---|---|---|---|
False
Is calcium required for crossbridge cycling?
|
A description of the repetitive movement of thin microfilaments
What is the sliding filament theory?
|
ADP and Phosphate
What form of energy is required by the sliding filament theory?
|
ADP and inorganic phosphate
What is ATP split into?
|
ATP
What gets produced in the release of the myosin head?
|
True
Calcium binding is the first step in the cross-bridge cycle.
|
it is a component of thick filaments- composed of a head, neck, and tail
What is a myosin head?
|
It occurs when muscular tissue contracts/flexes.
When does cross-bridge cycling occur?
|
Actin and Myosin
What are the two types of microfilaments in sarcomere?
|
It is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulums.
Where does calcium come from before the cross-bridge cycle?
|
True
Does Troponin bind to calcium?
|
A protein that forms together with myosin
What is actin?
|
Calcium
What ion is crucial to this process?
|
It shortens
In a fully contracted skeletal muscle what happens to the sarcomere?
|
Thick filaments are formed from bundles of myosin protein molecules - thin filaments are composed of 2 strands of actin protein twisted around each other
What is the difference between thick and thin filaments?
|
False
Is Iron needed in the sliding filament?
|
The binding site for calcium in crossbridge cycling.
Define troponin
|
By binding each myosin head between thick and thin filaments
How is a crossbridge formed?
|
At the start of the process, the sarcomere is relaxed, and by the end it is contracted.
What changes in the sarcomere from the beginning to the end of the cross-bridge cycling process?
|
It forms between actin and myosin.
Where does the cross-bridge form?
|
True
Does ATP get produced in the release of myosin head?
|
the four step process that is completed these steps include crossbridge formation, power stroke, release of myosin from actin and resetting of the myosin head.
What is the crossbridge cycle?
|
ADP and Phosphate cause the power stroke while the ATP causes the release of the myosin head from the actin
How does the use of ADP and Phosphate differ from the use of ATP during the sliding filament theory?
|
The A band, I band and H zone
In a relaxed skeletal muscle, what is visible?
|
The release of ADP
What causes the myosin head to bend?
|
