Predict what would happen to skeletal muscles of the body if an individual exposed to chemicals that inhibited the ATPase activity of myosin
Expert Solution

Step 1
Muscles are the body's greatest protein storage facility. The body prefers to get protein from skeletal muscles to protect more vital tissues and processes whenever dietary protein is scarce. Therefore, muscle atrophy occurs over occur as a consequence of a shortage of protein.
