    when the muscle is relaxed, the tropomyosin in muscle is displaced out of the groove preventing the myosin interacting with the actin. During contraction, Ca2+ binds to the EF-hands on Troponin to induce a conformational change in the troponin complex that is transmitted to tropomyosin, causing it to move towards the groove, this then allows the myosin to interact with actin causing muscle contraction. (2.34/…

    this is dependent upon the cell and finishes up after telophase. In animal cells cytokinesis is contractile. For example, pinching the cell depicting a purse with drawstring. The drawstrings represent a band of filaments made up of proteins known as actin and the pinch crease is recognized as being the cleavage furrow. However, plant cells do not have the ability to divide due to the cell wall being too stiff. Instead the cell plate develops down the center of the cell dividing it into 2…

    I. INTRODUCTION HE versatility of muscles is a crucial factor for efficient animal locomotion. In combination with a high degree of force control muscles enable precise motions depending on the wanted action. Animal locomotion involves (a) fine motor skills like sneaking, grabbing and communication; (b) quick short term acceleration like catching prey; (c) very long-term movement patterns which need to be performed efficient like digesting, migration and sometimes even (d) avoiding motion by…

    muscle fatigues, while warmer conditions accelerated the rate at which a muscle fatigues, which agreed with my hypothesis. Maximal contractile forces within a skeletal muscle are regulated by the force-length relationship, and the optimal overlap of actin and myosin filaments that produce the greatest force within the muscle. A muscle produces its greatest force when it is at its optimal or resting length, and its lowest force when the fibers are stretched or shortened. Contractile forces…
