Question

Muscle contraction is triggeredA) in response to an increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+concentration.B) in response to a decrease in the cytoplasmic Ca2+concentration.C) in response to an increase in the cytoplasmic cAMP concentration.D) in response to a decrease in the cytoplasmic cAMP concentration.E) in response to an increase in the cytoplasmic titin concentration.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) in response to an increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+concentration.

Explanation:

Muscle contraction occurs in response to an increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2 + concentration.

This process occurs with the shortening of the sarcomeres resulting in a result, the actin filaments react with myosin, generating actomyosin. During this reaction, it is necessary to increase the cytoplasmic concentration of Ca + and ATP. In this, myosin will break down ATP, releasing energy so that the muscle can contract.
