When a muscle is at rest the active sites on the actin are blocked by?

When a muscle is at rest, the active sites on the actin are blocked by tropomyosin. Tropomyosin prevents myosin binding to actin, which helps to keep the muscle relaxed. In order for muscle contraction to occur, tropomyosin must be moved out of the way to expose the active sites on actin.


What are the events that influence the width of each sarcomere when a muscle being contracted and relaxed?

During muscle contraction, the sarcomere width decreases due to the overlapping of actin and myosin filaments. This is caused by the sliding of the filaments past each other. When the muscle relaxes, the sarcomere width increases as the filaments slide back to their original positions. The regulation of calcium ions and ATP availability also play a role in influencing the width of each sarcomere during muscle contraction and relaxation.


What gas must be present for the aerobic breakdown of glucose to occur?

Oxygen gas must be present for the aerobic breakdown of glucose to occur. This process, known as cellular respiration, takes place in the mitochondria of the cell and generates energy in the form of ATP.


Which type of tissue can contract?

Muscle tissue is the type of tissue that can contract. This includes skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissues. Muscle contraction is a key function that enables movement and various physiological processes in the body.


What are the four things that must happen for natural selection to occur?

For natural selection to occur, there must be genetic variation present in a population, some of which is heritable. This variation must lead to differences in survival and reproduction (differential fitness). Individuals with advantageous traits must pass those traits on to their offspring. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population.

Is ATP the most abundant energy source for muscle contraction?

Yes, ATP is the primary energy source for muscle contraction. During intense exercise, ATP stored within the muscle cells is rapidly depleted and must be regenerated through metabolic pathways to sustain muscle contractions.
