Solution

The correct sequence of these events is:

a.3, 5, 1, 2, 4, 6.

This sequence represents the process of muscle contraction. It starts with the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (3), which then bind to troponin (5). This allows myosin cross-bridges to bind to the actin (1). The free myosin head then splits ATP (2), which provides the energy for the myosin head to pivot towards the center of the sarcomere (4). Finally, the myosin head binds an ATP molecule and detaches from the actin (6), ready for the next cycle of muscle contraction.

Which of the following events in muscle contraction is the last to occur chronologically? The T-tubules depolarize, causing calcium to be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium is taken up into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Tropomyosin moves, exposing the actin active sites. ATP binds to the myosin head allowing it to release from actin.
