What provides the energy to swivel the head of myosin?

The energy to swivel the head of myosin is provided by ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules. ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate during the power stroke of muscle contraction, releasing energy that causes the myosin head to swivel and slide along actin filaments.


How do cross bridge power stroke bring about shortening of muscle contraction in human?

During muscle contraction, the cross-bridge power stroke occurs when myosin heads bind to actin filaments and then pivot or "power stroke," pulling the actin filaments towards the center of the sarcomere. This action causes the muscle fibers to shorten, resulting in overall muscle contraction.


When a spark ignites the mixture of gas and fuel in a four stroke engine stored chemical energy is converted to blank energy?

When a spark ignites the mixture of gas and fuel in a four-stroke engine, stored chemical energy is converted to thermal energy, which causes the gas and fuel mixture to burn and expand rapidly, generating mechanical energy that powers the engine.


Explain the action of the conventional shock absorb on both compression and rebound strokes?

During the compression stroke, the shock absorber compresses, absorbing the kinetic energy from the impact. This process helps to slow down the movement of the suspension system, reducing the force transmitted to the vehicle body. On the rebound stroke, the shock absorber extends, releasing the stored energy from the compression stroke gradually, allowing the suspension to return to its original position smoothly.


What forces the piston down the cylinder on the power stroke?

The expanding high-pressure gases from combustion push the piston down the cylinder during the power stroke in an internal combustion engine. This force generated by the burning fuel drives the piston down, converting the pressure and heat energy into mechanical energy to rotate the engine's crankshaft.

What provides the energy to break the connection between actin and myosin?

ATP, of course. When the myosin head extends towards the actin thin filament it has in it's active site ADP and P +. So, when the stroke is over the ADP and P+ fall out and are replaced by ATP, which immediately metabolizes to ADP and P +.


What is used to detach the myosin head?

ATP is used to detach myosin heads and move them back to position for another "power stroke."


Where in the cross bridge cycle does ATP hydrolysis occur?

ATP hydrolysis occurs during the cocking stage of the cross bridge cycle, where the myosin head is cocked back into its high-energy position before it can bind to actin and perform the power stroke.


At what stage in the cross-bridge cycle is ATP split into ADP and Pi?

ATP is split into ADP and Pi during the cocking stage of the cross-bridge cycle, which is also known as the power stroke preparation phase. This occurs after myosin heads bind to actin and prior to the power stroke.


What are the molecules are attached to the myosin head from the previous cycle of movement?

Molecules attached to the myosin head from the previous movement cycle are inorganic phosphate and ADP (adenosine diphosphate). These molecules are released when the myosin head binds to actin, leading to the power stroke of muscle contraction.


Does myosin have the ability to swivel when powered by ATP?

Yes...ATP causes myosin to detach from actin. Then, Hydrolysis of ATP, which results in ADP and P, causes conformational change in myosin head to swivel or pivot about its axis and then weakly bind to an actin filament. Once the myosin head binds, a conformational change in the myosin head will cause the P to leave (the ADP is still stuck on). The leaving of the P causes the power stroke or "the pulling of the actin filament/rowing stroke". ADP then leaves and the myosin is now back at its original state.


Flexing the head of this molecule provides what is known as the?

Flexing the head of a molecule provides what is known as the active site, where specific interactions occur between the molecule and other substances, such as enzymes and substrates. This flexibility allows for optimal binding and catalytic activity, essential for biological functions.

What role does ATP play in muscle contraction?

The role ATP plays in muscle contraction is that ATP binds to sites on myosin heads, inducing a conformational change in the actin binding site and reducing the affinity for the actin substrate. Hydrolysis of ATP then cocks the myosin head and moves it closer to the z disk. Release of ADP increases the affinity of the actin binding site and a power stroke moves the head roughly 100 angstroms closer to the z disk. In short, after the power stroke, ATP is hydrolyzed to release the myosin heads from actin so that they can go to the next binding site on the actin filament. It's sort of like reloading the myosin gun.

What are the key steps involved in the crossbridge cycle during muscle contraction?

During the crossbridge cycle in muscle contraction, the key steps involve the binding of myosin to actin, the power stroke where the myosin head pivots and pulls the actin filament, the release of ADP and inorganic phosphate, and the resetting of the myosin head for the next cycle.
