A number of differences exist between the structure of animal cells and plant cells. The most prominent difference is the presence of both cell walls and cell membranes in plants, while animal cells only ...

ATP binds to the myosin head   Hydrolysis of ATP causes the head to come to a “cocked” position. Then the head binds to the actin binding site creating a cross-bridge ADP and Pi are released from the myos...
