Question : Assertion:on stimulation, a muscle cell releases calcium ions (Ca^(2+)) from sarcoplasmic reticulum. Reason: Byreacting with a protien complex, Ca^(2+) uncover active sites on the actin filaments.

Answer»

If both assertion and REASON are ture and reason is the corect explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are ture but reson is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false

Solution :A neural signal on reaching the nerromuscular junction RELEASES a neutrosmitter (acetylcholine) which generates an action potential in the sarcolemma. This spreads through the muscle fibre and causes the release of calcuim ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sarcoplasm. INCREASE in `Ca^(2+)` level leads to the binding of calcium with a subunit of troponin on actin filaments and thereby removing the mask of active SITES for MYOSIN.
