Indicate whether each of the following statements regarding skeletal muscle contraction is likely to be true or false. When a muscle cell receives a signal from the nervous system, voltage-gated calcium channels open in the T-tubule membrane. During muscle contraction, the Z discs move closer together as the myosin heads walk toward the plus ends of the actin filaments. When the cytoplasmic calcium concentration increases, a change in the conformation of troponin leads to changes in tropomyosin such that it blocks the binding of myosin heads to the actin filament. The changes in voltage across the plasma membrane that occur when a muscle cell receives a signal from the nervous system cause an influx of Ca2+ from the cytoplasm to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, triggering a muscle contraction.

For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase selected from the list below. Not all words or phrases will be used; use each word or phrase only once. Microtubules are formed of tubulin . Tubulin subunits are stacked together into protofilaments. Thirteen protofilaments form the structure of a microtubule. The structures of the two ends of the microtubule are .  ring complexes are important for microtubule nucleation and are concentrated in the . A microtubule end that is quickly shrinking has a string of - tubulins. The motor protein generates the bending motion in cilia.
