Which of these statements correctly describes contraction in skeletal and smooth muscle?
A) In skeletal muscle, calcium ion mediates changes in thin filaments that lead to cross-bridge activity; in smooth muscle, calcium ion mediates changes in thick filaments that lead to cross-bridge activity.
B) In skeletal muscle, troponin and tropomyosin are regulatory proteins; in smooth muscle, troponin is the only regulatory protein on thick filaments.
C) In skeletal muscle, calcium ion binds to troponin; in smooth muscle, calcium ion binds to calmodulin.
D) In skeletal muscle, calcium ion binds to calmodulin; in smooth muscle, calcium ion binds to troponin.
