Chapter 50, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: In what way the energy cost per hop differ at the two frequencies and also how this is related to energy storage in tendons.
Concept introduction: The locomotion is one of the most important characteristics of animals. It helps them to find mates, forage and to escape from enemies.
The locomotion on land is mediated in animals by the structural adaptations that evolved over the time to overcome the
Given data:
The energy consumed when standing is 159 joules/sec.
The energy consumed during hopping at different frequency is given as follows:
| Frequency (hops/sec) | Energy used (joules/sec) |
| 1.85 | 735 |
| 0.92 | 716 |

Conflicting Claims About the Effect of Exercise on the Rate of Clothespin Squeezing
Student A claims that a person will be able to squeeze a clothespin more times in a minute if the
person exercises first. Student A suggests that exercising produces a faster pulse rate, which indicates
that the blood is getting to the muscles faster.
Student B claims that a person will be able to squeeze the clothespin more times in a minute if the
person does not exercise first. Student B suggests that exercise takes energy away from the muscles,
and a person who has been resting will have more energy.
Which of the two students do you agree with?
How could you find out for sure which
claim is correct ?
Read over the following article from the New York Times
It describes a study in which researchers look at the changes in different types of molecules during exercise.
For this question, complete the following:
Briefly summarize the article Provide information about the study as to what they were looking at and any results or findings.
Discuss your interest in a exercise system or response described in the article and outline how you would find more information on this topic.

- Acetylcholine (ACh) is the primary neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. The binding of ACh to receptors on muscle cells activates a signal transduction pathway that causes the muscle to contract. Acetylcholinesterase, the digestive enzyme found on the membranes of muscle cells, is responsible for the breakdown of ACh over time, ending the activation of muscular contraction. Certain chemical compounds, such as sarin gas, act as high-affinity inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. Which of the following describes the most likely effect that exposure to sarin would have on muscle cells? A B с D complete inhibition of muscle contraction slower transduction of the muscle contraction pathway decrease in the frequency of muscle contraction convulsions due to continuous muscle contractionarrow_forwardwatch this video and write summary on thermoregulation in animals and upload it here: https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/mcat/organ-systems/integumentary-system/v/thermoregulation-by-muscles Provide your answer in at least 300 words.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are TRUE, regarding patterns of Oxygen Consumption in horses traveling at different speeds, based of the following data: A Walk o Trot • Gallop 100 - Gallop 16 12 Trot Walk 2 3 4 6 2 3 4 Running speed (ms-) Running speed (ms-) When horses trot, metabolic Cost of Transport is independent of speed. OAt the optimum speeds within each gate, metabolic Cost of Transport is independent of speed. These data show that Horses have specific adaptations for walking, trotting, and galloping. Metabolic Rate is constant, regardless of speed To travel a distance of 10 miles, it is most energetically efficient for a horse to walk.
