Question:
What is the 3rd stage of muscle contraction? (6)
Author: Sammy UniverseAnswer:
Sliding mechanism w/ myofilaments ATP binds to myosin head = breaks cross bridge ATP hydrolysis causes the head to turn and detach from ADP Myosin head binds to the next binding site and turns back which pulls the actin forward = shortening of sarcomere (muscle contraction) == contraction needs a lot of ATP
