The number of correct statements from the statements given below will be:
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.

Consider the given two statements:
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.

Contraction of a skeletal muscle fibre takes place by:
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

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.
