question
Which of these statements about skeletal muscles is FALSE? They store nutrient reserves. They support soft tissues. They pull on tendons. Their fibers branch.
answer
Their fibers branch
question
The cross bridge cycle starts when _________.
answer
Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum binds to troponin
question
steps of cross bridge cycle
answer
1. The activated myosin head binds to actin, forming a cross bridge. 2. ADP is released and myosin slides the thin filament toward the center of the sarcomere. 3. ATP binds to the myosin head and detaches it from actin. 4. ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi and the energy released re-cocks the myosin head.
question
Which of the following statements is true concerning motor units? -Movement of the eyeball requires fewer muscle fibers with less tension being produced. -A motor unit consists of all the muscle fibers it controls as well as the area of the spinal cord where it originates. -Lesser tension is required in lifting a dumbbell than in lifting a cup of coffee. -An increased number of motor neurons is needed in precise movements such as lifting a cup of coffee than in lifting a dumbbell. -A small number of muscle fibers with increased tension is needed in large, gross movements.
answer
Movement of the eyeball requires fewer muscle fibers with less tension being produced.
question
Which of the following is a way that muscle fibers get energy needed for contraction? -Because energy demands are low in a resting muscle, a resting muscle is able to meet its ATP requirement through glycolysis. -When a muscle is contracting during peak activity, it quickly uses up stored creatine phosphate which was produced during moderate exercise. -During moderate exercise, such as jogging on the treadmill, pyruvate and hydrogen ions accumulate causing muscle fatigue. -Aerobic exercise is beneficial to a muscle because it increases the muscle's ability to acquire greater amounts of glucose from the blood for ATP production. -During peak activity levels, glycolysis is the only pathway by which ATP can be produced to supply energy to the muscle.
answer
During peak activity levels, glycolysis is the only pathway by which ATP can be produced to supply energy to the muscle.
