Sliding filament theory can be best explained as

1. when myofilaments slide pass each other actin filaments shorten while myosin filament do not shorten
2. actin and myosin filaments shorten and slide pass each other
3. actin and myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other
4. when myofilament slide pass each other myosin filament shorten while actin filaments do not shorten

What are the sequential steps in the formation and breakage of a cross-bridge in muscle contraction?
1. Myosin head hydrolyzes ATP, attaches to actin, performs a power stroke, and releases ADP.
2. Myosin head binds to ATP, detaches from actin, hydrolyzes ATP, and reattaches to actin.
3. Myosin head releases ADP, binds to ATP, detaches from actin, and hydrolyzes ATP.
4. Myosin head attaches to actin, performs a power stroke, binds ATP, and then detaches from actin.
