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.

What is a key difference between red muscle fibers and white muscle fibers?
1. Red muscle fibers are adapted for endurance and have a high myoglobin content, while white muscle fibers are designed for short bursts of activity and contain less myoglobin.
2. White muscle fibers are rich in myoglobin, whereas red muscle fibers are not.
3. Red muscle fibers are smaller in diameter than white muscle fibers.
4. White muscle fibers have more mitochondria than red muscle fibers.
