The Ca++ ions released during a muscle fiber contraction attach with:

Correct answer: C. Troponin

  • A. Myosin
  • B. Actin
  • C. Troponin
  • D. Tropomyosin

Explanation

Ca2+ ions attach to troponin during muscle fiber contraction. Troponin is a regulatory protein complex found on the actin filaments in muscle fibers. When Ca2+ ions bind to troponin, it induces a conformational change that moves tropomyosin away from the binding sites on actin, allowing myosin to bind and initiate muscle contraction.
