NEET MCQ Books for XIth & XIIth Physics, Chemistry & Biology

What are the sequential steps in the formation and breakage of a cross-bridge in muscle contraction?
1. Myosin head hydrolyzes ATP, attaches to actin, performs a power stroke, and releases ADP.
2. Myosin head binds to ATP, detaches from actin, hydrolyzes ATP, and reattaches to actin.
3. Myosin head releases ADP, binds to ATP, detaches from actin, and hydrolyzes ATP.
4. Myosin head attaches to actin, performs a power stroke, binds ATP, and then detaches from actin.

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.
