Which steps involved in the contraction of a skeletal muscle require binding and/or hydrolysis of ATP? I Dissociation of myosin head from actin filament II Attachment of myosin head to actin filament III Conformational change that moves actin and myosin filaments relative to one another IV Binding of troponin to actin filament V Release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum VI Reuptake of calcium into the sarcoplasm A. I, II, and III only B. II, III, and IV only C. I, III, and ...

What expression gives the amount of light energy (in J per photon) that is converted to other forms between the fluorescence excitation and emission events? A. (6.62 × 10-34) × (3.0 × 108) B. (6.62 × 10-34) × (3.0 × 108) × (360 × 10-9) C. (6.62 × 10-34) × (3.0 × 108) × [1 / (360 × 10-9) - 1 / (440 × 10-9)] D. (6.62 × 10-34) × (3.0 × 108) / (440 × 10-9) Solution: The correct answer is C. This is a Physics question that falls under the content category "How light and s...

What does the term force describe? correct answers an outside influence on an object. What is a frame of reference? correct answers means that if the placement of one object is known, it is easier to locate another object with respect to the position of the original object. What is speed a measurement of? correct answers an objects movement or change in position (x), over a change in time (t). What is the measurement of speed with direction called? correct answers velocity What is th...

(k = 8.988 x 109 N-m 2/C 2) correct answers where k is Coulomb's constant (e = 1.6 X 10~19 C) correct answers The smallest possible unit of charge is one electron unit An electric field is defined as the electrostatic force per unit charge. The symbol for any electric field is E and is vector and have units of N /C or V/m correct answers what is E E=kq/r^2 correct answers For a point charge, the electric field is found by dividing Coulomb's law by q, giving: F=qE correct answer...

Average velocity correct answers v=Δx/Δt unit: m/s Acceleration correct answers a=Δv/Δt unit: m/s^2 Linear motion correct answers vf=vi+at Δx=vit+1/2at^2 vf^2=vi^2+2aΔx Projectile Motion correct answers Vertical component of velocity vsinθ Horizontal component of velocity vcosθ Static friction correct answers The force that must be overcome to set an object into motion Fs ≤ μs η Kinetic Friction correct answers Opposes the motion of objects moving relative to eac...

Phosphatase correct answers This myosin-actin interaction forms the basis of the cross-bridge cycle (CBC), which causes muscle contraction, as in skeletal -bridge cycling (CBC) requires phosphorylation of the myosin light chain (LC20). A .............. is an enzyme that removes a phosphate group from its substrate composed of actin and are dynamic and are lengthen by polymerization or shortened by depolarization correct answers microfilaments are provide strucule support for the cell ...

ants are known to use a number of chemical pheromones to communicate between individuals within the same colony. - trail pheromones, sex pheromones, or alarm pheromones. social wasps include: - paper wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets. oderous house ant is a common indoor species, gives off a very unpleasant odor when crushed. - true large yellow ant, which may swarm around foundations early spring and be mistaken for termites, smells like oil of citronella when crushed. - true control of ...

Amino Acid and Side Groups correct answers - Negative Side Groups = Acidic - Positive Side Groups = Basic Absolute Configuration correct answers refers the R/S naming convention. Some amino acids are R, and some are S. Relative Configuration correct answers - D/L naming convention. - All biologically produced amino acids are in the L configuration. Conformational stability correct answers - Temperature: Denatures second, third, and fourth tertiary - pH: Third and fourth; Destroys io...

Le Châtelier's Principle correct answers the equilibrium will favor products when the concentration of products is kept low. cytochrome c correct answers a heme protein that only cycles between a ferrous and ferric state during oxidative phosphorylation. Only single electron transfers are possible. oxidative phosphorylation correct answers the process in which ATP is formed as a result of the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH2 to O2 by a series of electron carriers. This process, w...

phosphatase correct answers enzyme that removes a phosphate group from its substrate According to the information in the passage, which statement best describes the function of the MR in response to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system? The MR: "Blood flow to the brain is regulated by changes in arterial vessel diameter in response to intravascular pressure, a process called the myogenic response (MR). The MR allows cerebral resistance vessels to achieve a state of partial constr...
