Identify the incorrect statement:
1. A skeletal muscle cell is called as a muscle fibre.
2. A skeletal muscle fibre is a syncytium.
3. Sarcolemma, the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cell, encloses the sarcoplasm.
4. Sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle fibres is a rough endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in
excessive protein synthesis.

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: The portion of the myofibril between two successive ‘Z’ lines is considered as the functional unit of contraction and is called a sarcomere.
Statement II: In a resting state, the edges of thin filaments on either side of the thick filaments partially overlap the free ends of the thick filaments.
Statement III: The central part of thick filament, not overlapped by thin filaments is called the ‘H’ zone.
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement III is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect; Statement III is correct
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct; Statement III is incorrect

A skeletal muscle motor unit is best described as:
1. a section of myofibrils from Z lines to Z lines
2. one nerve fiber and all the muscle fibers innervated by that nerve fiber
3. all of the nerves that unite to make a whole muscle contract
4. all of the fascicles innervated by several neurons

Calcium released into the sarcoplasm during muscle contraction:
1. binds to the actin and myosin and makes them work together.
2. breaks apart ATP to ADP and P.
3. removes the tropomyosin block.
4. causes the release of acetylcholine.

To form a cross bridge, during muscle contraction:
1. the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis
2. the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin and then the ATP binds to its site on myosin head
3. the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis
4. the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head and then the ATP binds to its site on actin
