In an isometric contraction, the muscle ________."
- shortens without a load
- does not change in length but increases tension
- is not stimulated by a motor neuron
- is unable form cross-bridges and fails to develop tension
Which method of regenerating ATP is used in a very short duration activity, such as a 100m sprint, because it is the most rapid method of regenerating ATP?"
- aerobic respiration in the mitochondria
- glycolysis in the mitochondria
- anaerobic respiration in the cytoplasm (or cytosol)
- breaking a phosphate bond on phosphocreatine
The
- only occurs within the mitochodria
- is called glycolysis
- only occurs when there is no oxygen present
- is the main method of generating ATP for maximum effort activities that last 1-2
Where does overÊ95% of a skeletal muscle cell's energyÊcome from during both rest andÊmoderate exercise?
- creatine phosphate
- lactic acid
- anaerobic glycolysis
- aerobic respiration
During vigorous exercise, there may be insufficient oxygen available to completely break down pyruvic acid for energy. As a result, the pyruvic acid is converted to ________."
- a strong base
- stearic acid
- hydrochloric acid
- lactic acid
After vigorous activity is terminated the rate of oxygen consumption remains high for a short period because muscle cells must replentish_____.
- their supply of ATP
- their supply of creatine phosphate
- the oxygen that was stored by their myoglobin
- their glycogen
- ALL OF THE ABOVE
- NONE OF THE ABOVE
A muscle cell can produce the most force when it _____.
- has shortened to about half its resting length
- has shortened to 85% of its resting length
- has been stretched to slightly longer than its resting length
- has been stretched to about twice its resting length
- The length of a muscle fiber has no effect on the amount of force it can produce.
Hypothetically, if a muscle were stretched to the point where thick and thin filaments no longer overlapped, ________."
- cross bridge attachment would be optimum because of all the free binding sites on actin
- no muscle tension could be generated
- maximum force production would result because the muscle has a maximum range of travel
- " ATP consumption would increase because the sarcomere is ""trying"" to contract"
Reflecting their different needs, fast muscle fibers contain large ____________ reserves whereas slow fibers contain the oxygen-carrying pigment ____________."
- glycogen; myoglobin
- fat; hemoglobin
- myoglobin; glycogen
- hemoglobin; myoglobin
Which type of muscle fibers contain more mitchondria?
- fast glycolytic
- slow oxidative
Which type of muscle fibers contain more myofibrils in parallel?
- fast glycolytic
- slow oxidative
Which type of muscle fibers have a greater blood supply (more capillaries)?
- fast glycolytic
- slow oxidative
Muscle hypertrophy refers to _______ while muscle atrophy refers to _______.
- "an increase in muscle strength and diameter, a decrease in muscle strength and diameter"
- "an increase in the number of motor units in a muscle, a decrease in the number of motor units in a muscle"
- "the effect of rest on muscle cells, the effect of endurance exercise on muscle cells"
- all of the above are correct
When a muscle gets thicker in diameter, this is mainly due to an increase in the _____."
- number of muscle cells through mitosis
- diameter of individual muscle cells
