Which component is responsible for initially stimulating a muscle contraction?
proteins
electrochemical signals
plasma membranes
striations

Option B, electrochemical signals

Explanation:

The first process that initiates the muscle contraction is the binding of calcium ion with troponin protein. After this chemical interaction, the active binding sites of actin gets exposed. After this myosin binds to the actin sites thereby forming a high-energy  head bridge and releasing the pi. Mysosin now goes to a lower energy state by undergoing conformational change. This causes power stroke and actin filament is pulled towards the M-line. Later on the muscle contracts by shortening  sarcomere.

This entire process is an electrochemical process. hence option B is correct.

the menstrual cycle – higher tier. negative feedback mechanisms affect the production of hormones in the menstrual cycle. oestrogen also stimulates the release of lh (luteinising hormone) from the pituitary gland, which in turn controls the production of progesterone.

earthquakes in florida are rare because the state is not located near any tectonic plates. in fact, florida is tied for first place as having the fewest earthquakes of any state. much of florida is limestone and seafloor materials that is not conducive to earthquakes.
