Actin and myosin are the molecules used for muscle contraction.
Most myosin molecules are composed of both a head and a tail domain.
true
In addition to providing structural support, actin filaments are involved in movement when they interact with the specialized protein myosin. Myosin is a motor protein that converts the chemical energy in ATP into the mechanical work of movement. The interaction between actin and myosin that produces movement: When ATP binds to themyosin and is then hydrolyzed to ADP, the "head" region of the myosin molecule binds to the actin filament on the slide. The movement of this protein causes the ctin filament to slide. This type of movement is analogous to a line of people who are passing along a long log or pole, the people are myosin molecules; the log is the is the actin.

Actin and myosin are proteins. Protein is a broad category of molecules.
myosin molecules
Cross bridge
Most myosin molecules are composed of both a head and a tail domain.
actin myosin and cell movement
During contraction, there are always some myosin heads attached to the actin myofilament when other myosin heads are detaching.

Myosin is a molecular motor that converts ATP to energy. Actin is responsible for cell movement and uses energy from the ATP conversion done by myosin..
