Which process must occur for a muscle to be able to relax? a. myosin and actin must attach to each other. b. the amount of atp in the neuromuscular junction must increase. c. the concentration of calcium in the myofibril must decrease. d. a nerve must initiate an action potential in the muscle fiber.

C. The concentration of calcium in the myofibril must decrease.

Explanation:

As soon as the stimulus which causes myofibril to contract stops, its time for muscle to relax.  

A low calcium level in the sarcoplasm is the utmost requirement of muscle relaxation otherwise sliding of myosin will continue and muscle will keep on showing contraction. In order for muscle contraction, calcium ion i.e. Ca²⁺ must come out of the sarcoplasmic reticulum so for relaxation reverse process occurs i.e. Ca²⁺ is pushed back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. There are many pumps known as "calcium pumps" which facilitate this process. Now, the concentration of Ca²⁺ becomes comparatively low in the sarcoplasm which causes troponin C to detach from Ca²⁺. Their detachment causes actin and myosin to detach from each other too which finally leads to muscle relaxation.

lunar landing mission. apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the moon. the first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by neil armstrong and buzz aldrin on july 20, 1969. the astronauts also returned to earth the first samples from another planetary body.
