What are the names of protein filaments in a muscle fiber?
Actin Filaments
What is the name of the regulatory protein?
myosin and actin
What other protein is involved in skeletal muscle contraction?
Myosin and actin
What are the two contractile proteins of muscle?
The two types of protein that are in your muscle cells are actin and myosin. What they do is they slide past each other and that makes a muscle cell work.
What are the two types of myofilaments?
The two filaments involved are myosin and actin. Actin: is the framework and slides over the myosin filament when the muscle is shortened. myosin: is a thick filament Also a sacromere: is made up of the actin and myosin. It is the functional unit of a muscle fibre and extends from z line to z line. A muscle contraction: is many sacromeres shortening ( actin sliding over myosin)
What is the chemical makeup of actin and myosin?
Protein.
What are the contractile protein of muscle?
Actin and Myosin
What protein makes up the thick filaments of myofibrils?
Myosin makes up the THICK filaments, and actin makes up the thin filaments of myofibrils.
What is the primary type of macromolecule in the actin and myosin that make up muscle cells?
Protein
What are actin and myosin and are they organized iin a muscle?
Thick filaments are made of the protein myosin and thin filaments are made of the protein actin. Myosin and actin filaments are arranged to form and overlapping pattern which gives muscle tissue its striated appearance.
How do proteins actin and myosin interact to make a muscle contract?
Myosin and Actin
The protein that interacts with actin to form crossbridges?
myosin
