The critical event for the contraction of striated muscles would be that calcium ions:
1. are released from troponin C
2. bind to tropomyosin
3. bind to troponin
4. are taken up by the sarcoplasmic reticulum
The neurotransmitter released by the motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction is:
1. | Acetylcholine | 2. | Noradrenaline |
3. | GABA | 4. | Adrenaline |

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): | Hydrolysis of ATP by myosin head is critical for the cross bridge formation. |
Reason (R): | Myosin head has ATPase activity dependent on magnesium ions |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Name the ion responsible for the unmasking of active sites for myosin for cross-bridge activity during muscle contraction.
1. | Calcium | 2. | Magnesium |
3. | Sodium | 4. | Potassium |
