Name the ion responsible for unmasking of active sites for myosin for cross-bridge activity during muscle contraction.
Calcium
Magnesium
Sodium
Potassium
Mechanism of Muscle Contraction -
Increase in Ca++ level leads to the binding of calcium with a subunit of troponin on actin filaments and thereby remove the masking of active sites for myosin.
