How could you detect if the muscle contracted?
ya muscles contracted due to actin and myocin protein comtracted
What are the proteins are involved in muscle contraction?
Actin and myosin
What is Myocin?
A fibrous protein that forms (together with actin) the contractile filaments of muscle cells and is also involved in motion in other types of cells.
What 2 molecules are part of actin?
The two main molecules that make up actin are globular actin (G-actin) and filamentous actin (F-actin). G-actin is the monomeric form of actin, while F-actin is the polymeric form that results from the polymerization of G-actin subunits.
How does the muscle system work?
molecules called actin and myocin lie next to each other inside muscle cells. when triggered (usually by calcium ions) they shift electron bonds, thus shortening the length of the cell [max about 1/3 shorter] Work is done (using ATP) to restore the cell to its nornal length.
What are the two contractile proteins of muscle?
The two contractile proteins of muscle are actin and myosin. Actin is a thin filament, while myosin is a thick filament. They interact with each other to generate the force required for muscle contraction.
What are the names of protein filaments in a muscle fiber?
Actin Filaments
DO actin and myosin come from muscle fiber?
Yes, actin and myosin are protein filaments found within muscle fibers. Actin is responsible for thin filaments and myosin for thick filaments in muscle contraction.
What 2 proteins make up the mass of a muscle cell?
Actin and myosin interact in muscle cells.
How do proteins actin and myosin interact to make a muscle contract?
Myosin and Actin
What are the myofilaments called in a muscle cell?
The myofilaments in a muscle cell are called actin and myosin. Actin and myosin are protein filaments that work together during muscle contraction to generate force and movement.
What are the muscle proteins and their interaction in the muscle physiology?
Myoglobin and Actin
