Question

Which process must occur for a muscle to be able to relax? A. The concentration of calcium in the myofibril must decrease. B. The amount of ATP in the neuromuscular junction must increase. C. a nerve must initiate an action potential in the muscle fiber. D. Myosin and actin must attach to each other.

Answer 1

A. which is the concentration of calcium in the myofibril must decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just took the test

Answer 2

The correct option is A. which is the concentration of calcium in the myofibril must decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Calcium allows the actin, myosin, and ATP to interact, causing cross bridge formation and muscle contraction.
• Muscle relaxation occurs when calcium is pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, away from the actin and myosin.
• When calcium moves in this way, the actin and myosin cannot interact, and the muscle relaxes.
• So according to above information all option are wrong except A option.
