ATP is required for the contraction of a sarcomere and thus a muscle fiber. At death, the production of ATP ceases and the ATP stores in a cell are quickly used up. The cell's membranes become permeable to calcium and calcium enters the cytosol of the cell and attaches to troponin, removing tropomyosin from the actin active sites. Myosin attaches to the actin active sites and the muscle contracts for several cycles until the ATP stores are depleted. The muscles are then unable to relax. This postmortem contraction of the muscles is called rigor mortis. Rigor mortis is ultimately caused by a lack of ATP that would, if present, (1) allow calcium to be pumped out of the cytosol and into the sarcoplasmic reticulum and (2) .

Explain the cellular functions that occur when antibiotics attack a bacteria cell. a. antibiotics target the cell wall, cell membrane, and the processes of protein and nucleic acids production in bacteria to rupture the cell. b. antibiotics create dormant resistant endospores to preserve the genetic material and rupture the cell. c. antibiotics target the cell wall and form a bridge-like connection to form conjugation. d. antibiotics use binary fission to grow twice its size, replications its dna, and split into two cells.
