The smallest functional unit of the striated muscle is called
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Sarcomere
A sarcomere is the smallest or basic unit of striated muscle tissue. Skeletal muscles consist of tubular muscle cells (myocytes or myofibres), which are formed by a process known as myogenesis. Myosin is the prototype of a molecular motor, a protein that converts chemical energy in the form of ATP to mechanical energy, thus generating force and movement.Fibril is a fine fibre, such as a myofibril or neurofibril. Neurofilaments are about 10 nanometers in diameter.Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of striated muscle cells.Hence the correct option is A.
