Muscle cells require cаlcium iоns (Cа2+) tо cоntrаct. When the concentration of calcium in the intracellular fluid decreases, a muscle cell relaxes. When the concentration of calcium in the cytoplasm increases, a muscle cell contracts.  To prevent unwanted contraction, a muscle cell stores most of its Ca2+ in a specialized compartment within the cell, called an organelle. An organelle has its own membrane, similar in structure to the membrane that surrounds the cell. The concentration of Ca2+ in the intracellular fluid depends on the activity of transport proteins in the cell's membrane and organelle's membrane.  The figures show a system of transport proteins that regulate the movement of Ca2+ in a cell. The top figure illustrates the function of the transport proteins in this system. The lower left-hand portion of the bottom figure shows a muscle cell as the concentration of calcium in the intracellular fluid decreases, leading to relaxation. The lower right-hand portion of the bottom figure shows a muscle cell as the concentration of calcium in the intracellular fluid increases, leading to contraction. Which protein transports Ca2+ from the intracellular fluid into the organelle?
