Question

5. Dark bands present in the sarcomere are called 1 point 'A' band 'Z' band 'H' line 'I' band

Answer 1

Answer:

hope it was helpful

Explanation:

The ‘A’ and ‘I’ bands are arranged alternately throughout the length of the myofibrils. The light bands contain actin(thin filament) and are called I-band or Isotropic band, whereas the dark band called ‘A’ or Anisotropic band contains myosin(thick filament). In the centre of each ‘I’ band is an elastic fibre called ‘Z’ line which bisects it. The thin filaments are firmly attached to the ‘Z’ line. The portion of the myofibril between two successive ‘Z’ lines is considered as the functional unit of contraction and is called a sarcomere

Utilizing the energy from ATP hydrolysis, the myosin head now binds to the exposed active sites on actin to form a cross bridge.

This pulls the attached actin filaments towards the centre of ‘A’ band.

The ‘Z’ line attached to these actins are also pulled inwards thereby causing a shortening of the sarcomere, i.e., contraction. Hence the ‘I’ bands get reduced, whereas the ‘A’ bands retain the length.

The central part of thick filament, not overlapped by thick filament is the H-zone.

So, the correct answer is '1,2 and 4
