can someone pls see ifi have these right?

Which of the following statements about muscle fibres are TRUE?
1-When a sarcomere contracts, the width of the A-band remains unchanged.
2-When a muscle contracts, the width of the sarcomeres shrink, and the length of the myofibrils decreases.
3-The length of the thick filaments in a sarcomere corresponds to the width of the A-band.
4-A sarcomere is a portion of a muscle fibre bounded by the Z-lines.
5-According to the Sliding Filament Model, muscles contract when the thin filaments slide towards the centre of each sarcomere.

i think 1, 3 and 4

In Lab 6, you are supplied with muscle tissue which has been pre-treated with a chemical "cocktail". Which of the following statements about the treatment is FALSE?
1-KCl and MgCl2 are added to mimic the salt composition of a normal cell.
2-The solution is buffered to a pH = 7.0 which is the intracellular pH of an intact muscle fibre.
3-EDTA is added to "mop-up" Ca and Mg ions which have leaked from the disrupted membranes.
4-The glycerol denatures the actin and myosin proteins.
5-Glycerol destroys the membranes inside the muscle fibres.

I think...3 and 5

you are supplied with a 2 mM solution of ATP. If the molecular weight of ATP is 507 g/mol, how much ATP was used to make 4 L of solution?
1-4.058 g
2-0.3 g
3-4.058 mg
4-45 g
5-2.536 mg

I have no idea how do to this question!!!!

thanks you

2 mM= 2 thoushandth of a mole/Litre of solution
with that you know how many moles in 4L of your solution, and you just have to convert in grams with the Molecular weight.

Hi there

Thanks!

All of it is correct however as for #3 the first part is absolutely correct because H width will decrease during contraction and hence bringing the Z-line together. However, I'm unsure if the myofibrils' length decreases.

1 = right, because both of them are salts.
2 = I think so...
3 = This also right. I'm sure you'll need Na-EDTA to clean up the water which has Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions before you start using it for washing your clothes
4 & 5 = Glycerol mimics the structure of polyvalenic alcohol and also grouped into alcohol group. It's you job now to search the interaction between alcohol and protein...
