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 proteins are involved in muscle contraction?
Actin and myosin
What are the names of protein filaments in a muscle fiber?
Actin Filaments
How do proteins actin and myosin interact to make a muscle contract?
Myosin and Actin
What is actin or myosin-containing structure?
actin and myosin are myofillaments that make up myofibrils (part of a muscle fibre) (so therefore : muscle is an actin or myosin containing structure
What 2 proteins make up the mass of a muscle cell?
Actin and myosin interact in muscle cells.
What other protein is involved in skeletal muscle contraction?
Myosin and actin
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 2 molecules are part of actin?
Actin and myosin are the molecules used for muscle contraction.
What are the contractile protein of muscle?
Actin and Myosin
Which myofilament contains actin and myosin?
muscle
A unit of muscle that is made of actin and myosin?
Sarcomeres contain myofilaments which consist of actin (thin) and Myosin (thick).
