Question 7 (Mandatory) (4 points) What causes myosin heads to grab actin and pull it inwards during the cross-bridge cycle of skeletal muscle contraction? Choose the best answer. ATP hydrolysis pulls back the Myosin heads into the cocked position Calcium binds to Troponin which rotates Tropomyosin When Tropomyosin rotates it exposes the myosin-binding sites on Actin All of the above

In skeletal muscle, re-energizing the myosin head occurs when: - Myosin is phosphorylated - ATP binds myosin - The myosin head partially hydrolyzes ATP - Ca2+ binds regulatory proteins - ATP binds actin

During a muscle contraction, what causes myosin to release actin? A. The entrance of calcium ions into the myofibril B. The interlacing of actin filaments with calcium ions C. The binding of an ADP molecule to the myosin head D. The release of the sarcomere from myosin filaments
What causes the myosin head to move into the 'cocked' position after it is released from actin? Group of answer choices ADP and Pi release from the myosin head Ca2+ binding to troponin. ATP hydrolysis into ADP and Pi on the myosin head. ATP binding to myosin.
