Textbook Question
Chapter 50, Problem 17TYK
The role of ATP in muscle contraction is to
- a. form cross-bridges between thick filaments and thin filaments.
- b. release the myosin head from actin when it binds and to provide energy when hydrolyzed to form myosin's high-energy form.
- c. remove the tropomyosin−troponin complex from blocking the binding sites on actin.
- d. bend the cross-bridge and pull the thick filaments toward the center of the sarcomere.

- Myosin binds to actin, then bends. What is ATP needed for next? A. to pump the Ca++ “keys” back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum B. to replace the strap and cover the binding sites C. to give feedback to the neuron that contraction occurred D. to un-bind myosin from actin and re-set for another powerstroke.arrow_forwardWith regard to muscle contraction, which of the following is an INCORRECT statement with regard to the interactions of filaments that occur in the sarcomere? A. When muscles are relaxed tropomyosin blocks binding sites on actin subunits, which keeps cross-bridges from forming. B. The myosin heads conduct a power stroke motion to slide when bound to actin, to move the "thin" filaments towards the center of the sarcomere. C. During contraction, actin subunits are removed from the ends of the "thin" filaments to shorten actin polymers, thus reducing the length of the sarcomere. D. "Thick" filaments are anchored at the M-line, while "thin" filaments are anchored at the Z-line. E. Numerous myosin heads engage with the actin filaments simultaneously, such that there is no back-slipping during the contraction process.arrow_forwardRigor mortis occurs following death because a. tropomyosin remains over the myosin binding sites of actin. b. myosin heads attach to actin and are not released due to lack of ATP. c. the myosin becomes misshapen. d. all of the Ca2+ remains within the sarcoplasmic reticulum.arrow_forward
