Given these events: Choose the arrangement that lists the events in the order they occur following a single stimulation of a skeletal muscle fiber. (1) The sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca2+. (2) The sarcoplasmic reticulum takes up Ca2+. (3) Calcium ions diffuse into the sarcoplasm. (4) An action potential moves down the T tubule. (5) The sarcomere shortens. (6) The muscle relaxes.	413526
Given these events: choose the arrangement that lists the events in the order they occur at a neuromuscular junction. (1) Acetylcholine is broken down into acetic acid and choline. (2) Acetylcholine diffuses across the synaptic cleft. (3) An action potential reaches the terminal branch of the motor neuron. (4) Acetylcholine combines with a ligand-gated ion channel. (5) An action potential is produced on the muscle fiber's plasma membrane	3,2,4,5,1
Acetylcholinesterase is an important molecule in the neuromuscular junction because it	BREAKS DOWN ACTYLCHOLINE
Choose the arrangement that lists the events in the order they occur during muscle contraction. (1) Calcium ions combine with tropomyosin. (2) Calcium ions combine with troponin. (3) Tropomyosin pulls away from actin. (4) Troponin pulls away from actin. (5) Tropomyosin pulls away from myosin. (6) Troponin pulls away from myosin. (7) Myosin binds to actin.	2,3,7

Considering the force of contraction of a skeletal muscle fiber, multiple- wave summation occurs because of	an increase in Ca2+ concentration around the myofibrils.
Which of these events occurs during the lag (latent) phase of muscle contraction?	Ca2+ binding to troponin
