Question
in skeletal muscle cells, calcium initiates contraction by binding to
multiple choice
tropomyosin.
actin.
troponin.
myosin.
the thick filament.
Brief Explanations
In skeletal muscle cells, calcium binds to troponin. This binding causes a conformational change in the troponin - tropomyosin complex, which exposes the binding sites on actin for myosin, initiating muscle contraction.
