dust in the workers involved grinding or stone
breaking industries.
Long exposure can give rise to inflammation
leading to fibrosis and thus causing serious
lung damage.
Anthrax is a serious infectious disease caused
by Bacillus anthracis. It commonly affects

(3) Activates the myosin ATPase by binding to
it.
(4) Prevents the formation of bonds between
the myosin cross bridges and the actin
filament.
Answer ( 1 )
Sol.  Signal for contraction increase Ca++ level

 Ca++ now binds with sub-unit of troponin
(troponin "C") which is masking the active
site on actin filament and displaces the
sub-unit of troponin.
 Once the active site is exposed, head of
the myosin attaches and initiate
contraction by sliding the actin over
