According to the sliding filament theory:

  1. The actin filaments slide away from A-band resulting in shortening of sarcomere.
  2. Actin and myosin filaments slide over each other to increase the length of the sarcomere.
  3. Length of A-band does not change
  4. I-band increases in length.

Answer

(3) Length of A-band does not change

Solution

As per NCERT, contraction of a muscle fibre takes place by the sliding of the thin (actin) filaments over the thick (myosin) filaments.

⇒ The actin filaments are pulled towards the centre of the A-band, so the Z-lines come closer and the sarcomere shortens.

⇒ The I-bands get reduced, whereas the A-bands retain their length.

Calcium is important in skeletal muscle contraction because it

  1. detaches the myosin head from the actin filament
  2. binds to troponin to remove the masking of active sites on actin for myosin
  3. prevents the formation of bonds between the myosin cross bridges and the actin filament
  4. activates the myosin ATPase by binding to it
