Solution

The correct option is C Meromyosin
The thin filaments are composed of two long Chains of the actin(spherical protein) molecules that are twisted around to one another. Each actin molecule has a myosin head can bind.

Match the following.

$\begin{matrix} Column I & Column II i. Troponin & a. Blocks the attachment site for the myosin cross bridge ii. Tropomyosin & b. Has a myosin binding site iii. Actin & c. Complex of 3 polypeptide units \end{matrix}$

Q. Assertion: Calcium ions play a crucial role in muscle contraction.
Reason: Calcium ions bind troponin causing the displacement of tropomyosin, allowing the myosin head to bind actin.
