Sliding filament theory can be best explained as
| 1. | when myofilaments slide pass each other actin filaments shorten while myosin filament do not shorten |
| 2. | actin and myosin filaments shorten and slide pass each other |
| 3. | actin and myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other |
| 4. | when myofilament slide pass each other myosin filament shorten while actin filaments do not shorten |

What are the sequential steps in the formation and breakage of a cross-bridge in muscle contraction?
| 1. | Myosin head hydrolyzes ATP, attaches to actin, performs a power stroke, and releases ADP. |
| 2. | Myosin head binds to ATP, detaches from actin, hydrolyzes ATP, and reattaches to actin. |
| 3. | Myosin head releases ADP, binds to ATP, detaches from actin, and hydrolyzes ATP. |
| 4. | Myosin head attaches to actin, performs a power stroke, binds ATP, and then detaches from actin. |

Calcium released into the sarcoplasm during muscle contraction:
| 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. |
