Answer:

The sliding filament theory describes the mechanism that allows muscles to contract. According to this theory, myosin (a motor protein) binds to actin. The myosin then alters its configuration, resulting in a "stroke" that pulls on the actin filament and causes it to slide across the myosin filament.

Explanation:

According to the sliding filament theory, muscle contraction occurs through the relative sliding of two sets of filaments ( actin and myosin). This sliding is produced by cyclic interactions of sidepieces from the myosin filament ( cross-bridges) with specific sites on the actin filament.
