According to the sliding filament theory:
| 1. | Actin and myosin filaments slide over each other to increase the length of the sarcomere. |
| 2. | Length of A–band does not change. |
| 3. | I–band increases in length |
| 4. | The actin filaments slide away from A–band resulting in shortening of sarcomere |

Hints
Calcium is important in skeletal muscle contraction because it:
| 1. | binds to troponin to remove the masking of active sites on actin for myosin. |
| 2. | activates the myosin ATPase by binding to it. |
| 3. | detaches the myosin head from the actin filament. |
| 4. | prevents the formation of bonds between the myosin cross bridges and the actin filament. |

Sliding filament theory can be best explained as:
| 1. | when myofilaments slide past each other, actin filaments shorten while myosin filament does not shorten |
| 2. | actin and myosin filaments shorten and slide past each other |
| 3. | actin and myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other |
| 4. | when myofilaments slide past each other, myosin filaments shorten while actin filaments do not shorten |
