What are the filsments of DNA and protein?
In essence, a protein filament is a long strand (aka filament) that's made of protein (hence, "protein filament"). So they are composed of smaller, protein subunits, which are single protein molecules.
What filament is connected to the Z line thick or thin?
thin
How many different types of histone subunits are present in a nucleosome?
the number of histone subunits in a nucleosome is?
How does a lack of calcium reuptake to the sacroplasmic reticulum affect the muscle?
The thin filament sites remain open to the binding and stroke of the thick filament and there would be no muscle relaxation without the reuptake of Ca 2+ so the thin filament sites are closed.
Does protein has polymers with many subunits?
Proteins are not polymers.
The thin filaments of a sarcomere consist of?
The length of the thick filament is the A band. The A band contains both thick and thin filament because they are overlapping each other. The H band is thick filament only, however, it only covers a portion of width of the thick filament.
What does a filament mean?
A protein filament is a long chain of protein subunits, like those found in hair, muscle. They are always bundled together for strength and rigidity.
Does a lamp with a thick filament draw more current or less current than a lamp with a thin filament?
A lamp with a thick filament will draw more current. What restricts the current flow in the filament is the resistance of the filament which increases as the temperature of the filament increases. A thin filament requires less energy to get heated up that a thick one so less current to achieve threshold resistance. Also a thick filament provides a broader path for current so there is less resistance per increase in degree centigrade. For these two (closely related but distinct) reasons it will require more current for the filament to get heated up to threshold resistance.

The thick filament that has cross-bridges?
myosin

What is the thickness of the filament in light bulbs?
the filament is neither too thick nor too light

Myofibrils consist of contractile proteins called?
Myofilaments Two types: actin (thin filament) & myosin (thick filament)
When muscles contract do the myofilaments themselves actually shrink?
the myofilaments themselves do not contract, they slide, this is called the Sliding Filament theory, in which the thick filament (Myosin) slides over the thin filament (Actin).
What are the thick protein filaments in the cell made of?
The thick filament is composed of the myosin molecule. The thin filament is composed of the actin molecule. Flexing the head of myosin provides the powerstroke.
