Q

composed of two chains of actin molecules
each ball on the chain is an actin molecule

16
Q
composed of many myofin proteins
tail and head reogin 
core of tails attatched
heads exposed on surface of the bundle
the yoson heads bind to the actin 
the myosin head is the part capable of generating movement, by using ATP, leading to overall muscle contraction
A

thick filament

17
Q

center line of thin and thick filaments

A

M line

18
Q

do either filament shorten during contraction

A

no, they just slide past each other, increasing overlap

19
Q

ends of unit of actin and myosin fibers

A

Z

20
Q

hoe does movement between filaments take place

A

myosin bonds to myosin sites on thin actin filament, and pulls it towards the middle using ATP

21
Q

long rope like proteins that sit on top of myosin binding sites when the muscle is RELAXED. This prevents any myosin heads binding to the actin molecules

A

tropomyosin with troponin complexes on them

22
Q

when contracting what happens to tropomyosin

A

Ca comes in and attaches to troponin complexes, conformation change, myosin binding sites exposed on actin for myosin filaments to bind to

23
Q

dominant opposing force to locomotion in land animals

A

gravity

24
Q

dominant opposing locomotion force in aquatic animals

A

friction from water

25
Q

dominant opposing force in flying animals

A

mostly gravity, little bit of friction
