Anand Jain answered |
Cardiac muscle is found only in the walls of the heart. When cardiac muscle contracts, the heart beats and pumps blood. Cardiac muscle contains a great many mitochondria, which produce ATP for energy. This helps the heart resist fatigue. Contractions of cardiac muscle are involuntary, like those of smooth muscle. Cardiac muscle, like skeletal muscle, is arranged in bundles, so it appears striated, or striped.
Hence, the answer is (D)

Wahid Khan answered |
In all myosins, the head domain is a specialized ATPase that is able to couple the hydrolysis of ATP with motion. A critical feature of the myosin ATPase activity is that it is actin-activated. In the absence of actin, solutions of myosin slowly convertATP into ADP and phosphate.

Prem Darade answered |
Mechanism of muscle contraction is best explained by the sliding filament theory, which states that contraction of a muscle fibre takes place by the sliding of the thin filaments over the thick filaments. The actin filament slide over myosin filament thus reduces the length of the sarcomere and contracts the muscle fibre.
So, the correct answer is option C.
So, the correct answer is option C.

Akash Khanna answered |
Explanation:
Muscle contraction is a complex process that involves the conversion of chemical energy into mechanical energy. Let's analyze each statement to understand why option 'B' is the correct answer.
i. Chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy during muscle contraction, and the chemical is a neurotransmitter.
During muscle contraction, chemical energy stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is converted into mechanical energy. ATP is the primary energy source for muscle contraction. The release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine initiates the process of muscle contraction by transmitting the electrical signal from the nervous system to the muscle fibers.
ii. A neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the motor end plate converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
This statement is incorrect. Acetylcholine released at the motor end plate does not directly convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. It acts as a chemical messenger that binds to receptors on the muscle fibers, triggering a series of events that lead to muscle contraction. The electrical energy from the nerve impulse is converted into a chemical signal (acetylcholine) which then initiates the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, leading to muscle contraction.
iii. In a contracted muscle, volume remains the same.
This statement is incorrect. During muscle contraction, the volume of the muscle decreases. As the muscle fibers generate force, they pull on the tendons, causing the muscle to shorten. This shortening leads to a decrease in muscle volume.
iv. A contracted muscle becomes shorter and thicker.
This statement is correct. When a muscle contracts, it becomes shorter and thicker. The individual muscle fibers slide past each other, causing the overlapping actin and myosin filaments to shorten. This sliding filament mechanism is responsible for muscle contraction. As the muscle fibers shorten, the muscle as a whole becomes thicker.
Based on the explanations above, we can conclude that only statements i), iii), and iv) are correct. Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' - only i), iii), and iv) are correct.

Pooja Saha answered |
Each organised skeletal muscle in our body is made of a number of muscle bundles or fascicles held together by a common collagenous connective tissue layer called fascia. Each muscle bundle contains a number of muscle fibres. A characteristic feature of the muscle fibre is the presence of a large number of parallelly arranged filaments in the sarcoplasm called myofilaments or myofibrils. The portion of the myofibril between two successive ‘Z’ lines is considered as the functional unit of contraction and is called a sarcomere.

Understanding the Assertion and Reason
The question revolves around the characteristics of muscle fibres, specifically red fibres, and their energy metabolism.
Assertion (A) Explained
- Red fibres, or slow-twitch fibres, are indeed rich in myoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen.
- This myoglobin content gives these fibres their reddish appearance, as it contains heme, which is responsible for the red color.
Reason (R) Explained
- The statement that red fibres primarily rely on anaerobic metabolism is incorrect.
- In reality, red fibres are adapted for aerobic metabolism, utilizing oxygen to generate energy efficiently over prolonged periods.
Conclusion
- Since Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false, the correct answer is option 'C'.
- The reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion, as red fibres do not primarily rely on anaerobic metabolism; they are more suited for endurance activities that require sustained energy through aerobic processes.
Key Takeaways
- Red fibres = High myoglobin content = Reddish appearance.
- Red fibres predominantly utilize aerobic metabolism, not anaerobic.
- The disconnection between the assertion and the reason confirms that option 'C' is indeed correct.

This statement is correct. Actin filaments, or F-actin, are formed by the polymerization of G-actin monomers into long, helical structures.
- ii. G (Globular) actins are monomers that polymerize to form F actins.
This statement is also correct. G-actin monomers assemble to create F-actin, highlighting the dynamic nature of actin filaments.
- iii. Tropomyosin runs parallel to the F actins and does not interact with them.
This statement is incorrect. Tropomyosin binds to F-actin and stabilizes it, playing a significant role in muscle contraction and regulation of myosin binding sites.
- iv. Troponin is attached to tropomyosin at regular intervals and regulates the binding sites for myosin on the actin filaments.
This statement is correct. Troponin interacts with tropomyosin and, in the presence of calcium ions, regulates the exposure of binding sites for myosin, which is essential for muscle contraction.
Conclusion
Given the analysis, the correct statements are ii and iv. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' (i, ii, and iv). Understanding these components is crucial for comprehending the mechanisms of muscle contraction and cellular movement.

- The Assertion (A) is false because myasthenia gravis does not primarily involve the degeneration of muscle fibers; rather, it is an autoimmune disorder affecting the communication at the neuromuscular junction.
- The Reason (R) is true as it correctly describes the mechanism of myasthenia gravis, which indeed leads to fatigue and weakness in skeletal muscles due to the disruption at the neuromuscular junction.
- Therefore, since the Assertion is false and the Reason is true, the correct answer is Option 4: If both Assertion and Reason are false.

Appendicular skeleton includes
The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the limbs and their associated girdles. It is one of the two main divisions of the human skeleton, with the other being the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton provides support and enables movement of the limbs.
1. Girdles
The appendicular skeleton includes two girdles: the pectoral girdle and the pelvic girdle.
- Pectoral Girdle: The pectoral girdle, also known as the shoulder girdle, consists of the clavicle (collarbone) and the scapula (shoulder blade). It connects the upper limbs to the axial skeleton, allowing for the movement of the arms and shoulders.
- Pelvic Girdle: The pelvic girdle, also known as the hip girdle, consists of two hip bones, also called coxal bones or innominate bones. The pelvic girdle connects the lower limbs to the axial skeleton and supports the weight of the body.
2. Limbs
The appendicular skeleton also includes the bones of the limbs, including the upper limbs (arms) and the lower limbs (legs).
- Upper Limbs: The upper limbs consist of the humerus (upper arm bone), radius and ulna (forearm bones), carpals (wrist bones), metacarpals (hand bones), and phalanges (finger bones). These bones provide support and allow for various movements of the arms, hands, and fingers.
- Lower Limbs: The lower limbs consist of the femur (thigh bone), tibia and fibula (leg bones), tarsals (ankle bones), metatarsals (foot bones), and phalanges (toe bones). These bones provide support and enable movements such as walking, running, and jumping.
3. Function
The appendicular skeleton plays a crucial role in maintaining posture, supporting the body's weight, and facilitating movement. The girdles connect the limbs to the axial skeleton and provide a stable base for the movement of the arms and legs. The bones of the limbs allow for various movements and actions, such as reaching, grasping, walking, running, and performing fine motor skills.
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, the appendicular skeleton includes the girdles and the bones of the limbs. It provides support, stability, and enables movement of the limbs, allowing for a wide range of activities and functions.

The appendicular skeleton also includes the bones of the limbs, including the upper limbs (arms) and the lower limbs (legs).
- Upper Limbs: The upper limbs consist of the humerus (upper arm bone), radius and ulna (forearm bones), carpals (wrist bones), metacarpals (hand bones), and phalanges (finger bones). These bones provide support and allow for various movements of the arms, hands, and fingers.
- Lower Limbs: The lower limbs consist of the femur (thigh bone), tibia and fibula (leg bones), tarsals (ankle bones), metatarsals (foot bones), and phalanges (toe bones). These bones provide support and enable movements such as walking, running, and jumping.
3. Function
The appendicular skeleton plays a crucial role in maintaining posture, supporting the body's weight, and facilitating movement. The girdles connect the limbs to the axial skeleton and provide a stable base for the movement of the arms and legs. The bones of the limbs allow for various movements and actions, such as reaching, grasping, walking, running, and performing fine motor skills.
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, the appendicular skeleton includes the girdles and the bones of the limbs. It provides support, stability, and enables movement of the limbs, allowing for a wide range of activities and functions.

Lead Academy answered |
- Statement i is correct because muscle contraction is initiated by a neural signal from the CNS through a motor neuron.
- Statement ii is correct as the neuromuscular junction is indeed where the motor neuron connects to the muscle fibre.
- Statement iii is incorrect because calcium ions do not bind to myosin; they bind to troponin, which then allows myosin to attach to actin.
- Statement iv is correct as troponin binds calcium, causing a conformational change that exposes the active sites on actin.
Thus, the correct statements are i, ii, and iv.
Line in NCERT: "Muscle contraction is initiated by a signal sent by the central nervous system (CNS) via a motor neuron. The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of the muscle fibre is called the neuromuscular junction or motor-end plate. This causes the release of Ca** from sarcoplasmic reticulum. Ca** activates actin which binds to the myosin head to form a cross bridge."

Sharmila Khanna answered |
The correct answer for this question is option 'C' - glenoid cavity. Let's understand why the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity.
Head of the Humerus:
The humerus is the long bone that forms the upper arm. It consists of a rounded upper end called the head, which is located proximally.
Articulation with the Glenoid Cavity:
The glenoid cavity is a shallow, concave socket located on the lateral side of the scapula. It forms the glenohumeral joint, commonly known as the shoulder joint. The head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity to form this joint.
Explanation:
When the rounded head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity, it allows for a wide range of movement in the shoulder joint. The shallow nature of the glenoid cavity provides stability to the joint while allowing for flexibility and mobility.
The articulation between the humerus and the glenoid cavity is a synovial joint, which means it is surrounded by a joint capsule filled with synovial fluid. This fluid lubricates the joint, reducing friction and allowing for smooth movement.
Importance of the Glenohumeral Joint:
The glenohumeral joint is one of the most mobile joints in the human body. It allows for movements such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotation, and circumduction of the arm. This joint plays a crucial role in activities that involve reaching, lifting, throwing, and other arm movements.
Conclusion:
In summary, the rounded upper end (head) of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral joint. This joint provides stability and allows for a wide range of movements in the shoulder.

- Statement i is correct. Myosin filaments are indeed composed of multiple monomeric proteins called Meromyosins.
- Statement ii is incorrect. The heavy meromyosin (HMM) refers specifically to the globular head and short arm, while the light meromyosin (LMM) refers to the tail.
- Statement iii is correct. The cross arm of the myosin filament does project outwards at a regular distance and angle.
- Statement iv is incorrect. The globular head of myosin is an active ATPase enzyme with binding sites for ATP and active sites for actin.
Thus, the correct statements are i and iii, making the correct answer Option A.
Line in NCERT: "Each myosin (thick) filament is also a polymerised protein. Many monomeric proteins called Meromyosins constitute one thick filament. Each meromyosin has two important parts, a globular head with a short arm and a tail, the former being called the heavy meromyosin (HMM) and the latter, the light meromyosin (LMM). The HMM component, i.e.; the head and short arm projects outwards at regular distance and angle from each other from the surface of a polymerised myosin filament and is known as cross arm."

Rishika Kaur answered |
Answer:
The correct answer is option 'B', the synovial membrane.
The synovial membrane is a specialized connective tissue membrane that lines the inner surface of joint cavities. It is responsible for secreting synovial fluid, a watery fluid that lubricates and cushions the joint.
Function of the synovial membrane:
The synovial membrane has several important functions in the joint:
1. Synovial fluid production: The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid, which is a viscous, lubricating fluid. This fluid helps to reduce friction between the articular surfaces of the joint during movement.
2. Lubrication: The synovial fluid acts as a lubricant, allowing for smooth movement of the joint. It reduces friction and wear between the articulating surfaces of the bones.
3. Cushioning: The synovial fluid also acts as a shock absorber, providing cushioning and protecting the joint from excessive forces and impact during movement.
4. Nutrient supply: The synovial fluid carries nutrients to the articular cartilage, which does not have a direct blood supply. This helps to maintain the health and function of the cartilage.
5. Waste removal: The synovial fluid also helps to remove metabolic waste products from the joint, contributing to the overall health and function of the joint.
Composition of synovial fluid:
Synovial fluid is a clear, viscous fluid composed of several components, including:
1. Water: Water makes up the majority of synovial fluid, providing the fluidity and lubrication required for joint movement.
2. Hydrated hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid is a high-molecular-weight glycosaminoglycan that helps to maintain the viscosity and lubricating properties of the synovial fluid.
3. Proteins: Synovial fluid contains various proteins, including albumin and globulins, which help to maintain the osmotic balance and provide nourishment to the articular cartilage.
4. Cells: The synovial fluid may contain a small number of white blood cells, which are responsible for the immune response and inflammation regulation within the joint.
In conclusion, the synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid, which plays a crucial role in lubricating and cushioning the joint. This fluid helps to reduce friction, protect the joint from excessive forces, provide nutrients to the cartilage, and remove waste products. The synovial membrane and synovial fluid are essential for maintaining the health and proper function of the joint.

This fluid helps to reduce friction, protect the joint from excessive forces, provide nutrients to the cartilage, and remove waste products. The synovial membrane and synovial fluid are essential for maintaining the health and proper function of the joint.

What sequence of events correctly describes the role of calcium ions in muscle contraction?- a)Calcium ions bind directly to myosin, initiating muscle contraction without the formation of cross bridges.
- b)Calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, activating myosin to form cross bridges with actin.
- c)Upon an action potential in the muscle fiber, calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, activating actin to bind with myosin and form cross bridges, resulting in muscle contraction.
- d)Calcium ions activate the motor neuron to generate an action potential that leads to muscle contraction.
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?
a)
Calcium ions bind directly to myosin, initiating muscle contraction without the formation of cross bridges.
b)
Calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, activating myosin to form cross bridges with actin.
c)
Upon an action potential in the muscle fiber, calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, activating actin to bind with myosin and form cross bridges, resulting in muscle contraction.
d)
Calcium ions activate the motor neuron to generate an action potential that leads to muscle contraction.

Stepway Academy answered |
The sequence begins when a motor neuron's signal generates an action potential in the muscle fiber. This event triggers the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These calcium ions then activate actin, allowing it to bind to myosin heads, forming cross bridges. The formation of these cross bridges enables the actin filaments to slide over the myosin filaments, causing the muscle to contract. Once contraction is completed, calcium ions are reabsorbed into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, actin becomes inactivated, cross bridges are broken, and the muscle relaxes.
