I: | removing dust particles and some of the foreign substances inhaled along with the atmospheric air. |
II: | passage of urine in the collecting duct of the nephron. |
III: | passage of ova through the female reproductive tract |
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. |
Statement I: | Thick filaments within the myofibril are composed primarily of actin. |
Statement II: | Thin filaments within the myofibril are composed primarily of myosin. |
I: | The striated appearance of skeletal muscle myofibril is due to the distribution pattern of two important proteins – Actin and Myosin. |
II: | The light band contains actin and is called as I-band or Isotropic band. |
III: | Actin and myosin in a myofibril are arranged as rod-like structures, parallel to each other and also to the longitudinal axis of the myofibrils. |
IV: | Actin filaments are thinner as compared to the myosin filaments. |

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. | shortening of both actin and myosin myofilaments |
2. | shortening of actin and lengthening of myosin myofilaments |
3. | the sliding of the thin filaments over the thick filaments |
4. | the sliding of the thick filaments over the thin filaments |
Statement I: | The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of the muscle fibre is called the neuromuscular junction. |
Statement II: | A neural signal reaching the neuromuscular junction releases a neurotransmitter, Acetyl choline, which generates an action potential in the sarcolemma. |
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. | glucose | 2. | glycogen |
3. | ATP | 4. | creatine phosphate |
