What are the proteins involved in muscle contraction?

Actin and myosin are the two main proteins that interact to cause muscle contraction.

Signup and view all the flashcards

How does muscle contraction occur?

When a nerve impulse arrives at a muscle fiber, calcium ions are released. Calcium ions bind to troponin, causing a shift in tropomyosin, exposing binding sites on actin. Myosin heads then bind to actin, forming cross-bridges, and pull actin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere, shortening the muscle fiber.

Study Notes

Advance Biology Grade 9 - End of Term 1 (2024-2025)

  • Enzymes: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up biochemical reactions in living organisms.

  • Enzymes function by interacting with substrates at specific active sites.

  • Only substrates with a specific shape can bind to the active site.

  • Once substrates bind, the active site changes shape, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.

  • Substrates react to form products within the complex.

  • Products are released, and the enzyme is unchanged.

  • Enzymes are crucial for all biological processes.
