This set of Biochemistry Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Protein Interactions Modulated by Chemical Energy: Actin, Myosin and Molecular Motors”.
1. Light band has which of the following filament protein?
a) Actin
b) Myosin
c) Actin and myosin
d) Tubulin
View Answer
Explanation: Light band has actin because it is a part of the thin filament.
2. Contractile protein of a muscle is __________
a) Troponin
b) Myosin
c) Tubulin
d) Tropomyosin
View Answer
Explanation: Both actin and myosin are the two contractile proteins.
3. Which of the following contractile protein of skeletal muscle involve in ATPase activity?
a) Troponin
b) Myosin
c) Tubulin
d) Tropomyosin
View Answer
Explanation: ATPase activity involves the conversion of ATP to ADP which releases energy. Myosin involves in such type of activity.
4. The cross bridges involved in muscle contraction are located on the __________
a) Myosin myofilaments
b) Actin myofilaments
c) Tropomyosin
d) Dystrophin
View Answer
Explanation: The globular head of a myosin that projects from myosin filament is a cross bridge.
5. The contractile unit consisting of bundles of thick filaments interleaved at either end with those of thin filaments is?
a) Myofibril
b) Cross bridges
c) Z band
d) Sarcomere
View Answer
Explanation: Sarcomere is the contractile unit consisting of bundles of thick filaments interleaved at either end with those of thin filaments.
6. Sarcomere is a part between __________
a) 2 I bands
b) 2 Z bands
c) 2 A bands
d) 2 H bands
View Answer
Explanation: Z lines are formed between adjacent sarcomeres.
7. Which of the following is the smallest division?
a) Actin
b) Fiber
c) Fibril
d) Filament
View Answer
Explanation: Actin, which is the part of the thin filament, is the smallest division in that group.
8. Which of the following is false?
a) Actin is a thin filament
b) Myosin is a thick filament
c) The band in a myofibril is an area of thin filament
d) Functional unit of muscle is sarcomere
View Answer
Explanation: The band in a myofibril is an area of thick filament.
9. The connective tissue that surrounds individual fibers is __________
a) Fascia
b) Epimysium
c) Endomysium
d) Perimysium
View Answer
Explanation: Endomysium is present in between one muscle cell and other.
10. Which of the following is an invagination of the muscle cell’s sarcolemma?
a) Cisternae
b) Microtubules
c) T tubules
d) Sarcoplasmic reticula
View Answer
Explanation: Transverse tubules are the invaginations of the muscle cell’s sarcolemma.
