During muscular contraction which of the following events occur? (a) ‘H’ zone disappears(b) ‘A’ band widens(c) ‘I’ band reduces in width(d) Myosine hydrolyzes ATP, releasing the ADP and Pi(e) Z-lines attached to actins are pulled inwardsChoose the correct answer from the options given below.
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the events that occur during muscular contraction. Let's examine each statement:(a) ‘H’ zone disappears: - During muscle contraction, the actin filaments slide over the myosin filaments, causing the ‘H’ zone, which is the region of the A band where there is no overlap between actin and myosin, to disappear. - This statement is correct.(b) ‘A’ band widens: - The ‘A’ band represents the length of the myosin filaments and does not change in width during contraction.
