Question -

Write the differences between.
(a) Actin and Myosin
(b) Red and White muscles
(c) Pectoral and Pelvic girdle



Answer -

The differences are asfollows:

a) Actin and myosin

Actin

Myosin

Thin filaments (I-bands) of the myofilament are formed

Thick filaments (A-bands) of the myofilament are formed

It is built of globular actin monomers

It is built of meromyosin monomers

The regulatory proteins Tropnin and tropomyosin are linked with the actin

The regulatory proteins are not linked, instead each of the meromyosin is built of four light chains and two identical heavy chains


b) Red and whitemuscles

Parameters

Red muscles

White muscles

Myoglobin content

High

Low

Amount of sarcoplasmic reticulum

Moderate

High

Fibers

Narrow and thin

Broad and thick

Mitochondria

Possess many

Few

Fatigue

Not fatigued

Fatigued

Type of respiration from which energy is derived

Aerobic

Anaerobic


c) Pectoral and Pelvicgirdle

Pectoral girdle

Pelvic girdle

Pectoral girdle is called as the shoulder girdle

Pelvic girdle is called as the hip girdle

Each part/half of the girdle consists of two bones – clavicle and scapula

Each part/half of the girdle consists of three bones – ischium, ilium and pubis

Forelimb articulation is offered

Hindlimb articulation is offered

Head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity of the pectoral girdle

Head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvic girdle
