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. |
1. | 1 | 2. | 2 |
3. | 3 | 4. | 4 |
1. | a band where only actin molecules are found |
2. | a band where only myosin molecules are found |
3. | an attachment point for actin molecules |
4. | an attachment point for myosin molecules |
1. | Z lines bisect the I band |
2. | G actin is a polymer of F actins |
3. | A subunit of troponin masks active binding sites for myosin on the actin filament. |
4. | Globular head of myosin has ATPase activity. |
Consider the following statements:
I: | The head of myosin is made of LMM and the tail is made of HMM |
II: | F Actin is monomeric while G actin is polymeric |
III: | Tropomyosin is composed of three globular proteins |
The incorrect statements are:
1. I and II only | 2. I and III only |
3. II and III only | 4. I, II and III |
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. |
I: | binding to active sites on actin myofilaments |
II: | binding to ADP |
I: | Myoglobin content is very low in the red fibres. |
II: | white muscle fibers contain plenty of mitochondria. |
III: | The amount of sarcoplasmic reticulum is high in red muscle fibers. |
IV: | White muscle fibres depend on anaerobic process for energy. |
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. |
