Question
An ion that is essential for muscle contraction is Ca2+. Which of the following statements about the calcium ion and muscle contractions is TRUE?
Select one:
a.
Muscle contractions can occur whether Ca2+ concentrations are high or low.
b.
Ca2+ binds to the tropin-tropomyosin protein complex shifting it out of the way and allows the myosin to bind to the actin so contraction can occur.
c.
When Ca2+ concentrations are high, tropomyosin inhibits myosin binding and the muscle is relaxed.
d.
Ca2+ ions are stored in the sacroplasmic reticulum during the muscle contractions.
