CA++ dependent means that the molecules that has to gain entry into the cells will have to attach itself with some of the CA++


Anti dependent simply means those who are not dependent and can gain entry into the cells without them.


Usually muscular activity involves CA++ dependent attachment.3
There are CA++ receptors on surface of the cell that are complementary to echother.



If you open "Biology by Campbell" any edition, I think there are 2 of them you will get a very good explanation of this activity.
