What else can I help you with?
Long filamentous organelle with a banded appearance?
This description matches a structure called a myofibril, which is found in muscle cells. Myofibrils are made up of repeating units called sarcomeres that give them a banded appearance. They are responsible for muscle contractions by interacting with motor proteins.
What are tiny contractile units linked together on a myofibril?
Sarcomeres are the tiny contractile units linked together on a myofibril. They are the functional units of muscle tissue and are responsible for muscle contractions. Sarcomeres consist of thick and thin filaments made of proteins that slide past each other during muscle contraction.
What is membranous network that surrounds each myofibril?
The membranous network that surrounds each myofibril is known as the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). It plays a crucial role in muscle contraction by storing and releasing calcium ions, which are essential for initiating the contraction process. The SR is a specialized form of endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells, and it helps regulate calcium levels in the cytoplasm during muscle activity.
What separates one sarcomere from the next?
Z-lines separate one sarcomere from the next within a myofibril. These are structures composed of actin filaments where thin filaments from adjacent sarcomeres are anchored.
Fungi cell walls are made up of what?
They are made up of mostly Chitin.
What makes up a myofibril?
Myofibrils are made up of actin (thin filaments) and myosin (thick filaments).
Bundles of myofilaments make up?

Protein molecule that makes up part of a myofibril?
Actin , myosin and others .
What is the order from largest to smallest myofibril fascicle myofiber myofilament?
myofilament myofibril myofiber fascicle muscle
What repeating units make up a muscle fiber?
sacomeres are a single unit of a muscle fiber multiple sacomeres make up a myofibril
What another name for myocyte?
Myofibril
Myofibrils consist of contractile proteins called?
Myofilaments Two types: actin (thin filament) & myosin (thick filament)
What is the Smaller fiber in a muscle fiber?
Myofibril
What is the fine subunit of muscle fiber?
myofibril
What is the basic functional unit of a myofibril?
sarcomere
Which is smaller a myofibril or a myofiber?
Short Answer:A myofibril is smaller than a myofiber (muscle fiber).Long Answer:Skeletal Muscle Hierarchy:Muscle OrganPerimysium = white fibrous connective tissue & areolar connective tissue that surrounds each fascicleFascicle = bundle of skeletal muscle fibersEndomysium = areolar connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiberMuscle Fiber ( Myofiber) = a muscle cellMyofibrils = contractile protein organellesMyofilaments = contractile proteins composed of:thick filaments = made of myosinthin filaments = made of actin
