Options
- AOnly 3 is correct
- BBoth 2 and 4 are correct
- CAll are correct
- DBoth 1 and 5 are incorrect
Correct answer
C. All are correct
Step-by-step solution
Each myofibril has alternate dark and light bands on it. A detailed study of the myofibril has established that the striated appearance is due to the distribution pattern of two important proteins – Actin and Myosin. Myoglobin content is high in some of the muscles which gives a reddish appearance. Such muscles are called the Red fibres. These muscles also contain plenty of mitochondria which can utilise the large amount of oxygen stored in them for ATP production. These muscles, therefore, can also be called aerob
