1. | A skeletal muscle cell is called as a muscle fibre. |
2. | A skeletal muscle fibre is a syncytium. |
3. | Sarcolemma, the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cell, encloses the sarcoplasm. |
4. | Sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle fibres is a rough endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in excessive protein synthesis. |
I: | Z line | an attachment point for actin molecules |
II: | M line | an attachment point for myosin molecules |
III: | A band | a band where only actin molecules are found |
IV: | I band | a band where only myosin molecules are found |
Statement I: | The portion of the myofibril between two successive ‘Z’ lines is considered as the functional unit of contraction and is called a sarcomere. |
Statement II: | In a resting state, the edges of thin filaments on either side of the thick filaments partially overlap the free ends of the thick filaments. |
Statement III: | The central part of thick filament, not overlapped by thin filaments is called the ‘H’ zone. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement III is correct |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect; Statement III is correct |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct; Statement III is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect; Statement III is incorrect |
Statement I: | A single filament of tropomyosin runs close to the ‘F’ actins throughout its length. |
Statement II: | In the resting state, a subunit of troponin masks the active binding sites for myosin on the actin filaments. |
1. | binds to the actin and myosin and makes them work together. |
2. | breaks apart ATP to ADP and P. |
3. | removes the tropomyosin block. |
4. | causes the release of acetylcholine. |
1. | the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis |
2. | the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin and then the ATP binds to its site on myosin head |
3. | the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis |
4. | the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head and then the ATP binds to its site on actin |
I: | the ‘I’ bands get reduced |
II: | the ‘A’ bands retain the length |
Statement I: | Repeated activation of the muscles can lead to fatigue. |
Statement II: | Repeated activation of the muscles can lead to the accumulation of lactic acid due to anaerobic breakdown of glycogen in them. |
