A study of muscle fibers between chimpanzees and humans revealed that although muscle mass per body size are approximately equivalent, the ratio of red (slow) and white (fast) fibers were significantly different. Chimps tend to have a ratio of 30% red to 70% white where humans are 60/40 respectively. Speculate about what this ratio difference means in terms of muscle activity potential and a possible evolutionary significance of this difference.
Men are generally stronger than women because they typically have larger bodies, and a more significant proportion of their total body mass is made up of muscle. However, when strength is expressed per unit of the cross-sectional area of muscle tissue, men are only 1-2% stronger than women in the upper body and equal to women in the lower body. Explain two factors that explain these disparities.
Describe three examples from different organ systems by which Ca2+ plays an essential for specific physiological functions. (max 12 sentences)
Calmodulin is found in smooth muscle cells and performs a similar function to troponin in striated muscle fibers. However, calmodulin not only gets activated by Ca2+ but also slows the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. How might this difference relate to the different kinds of contractions smooth muscles do in comparison to striated muscles?
An unexpected discovery from studies of ameboid movement is that the same proteins found in the contractile system of animal muscle—actin and myosin—are present in ameboid cells. Explain how these and other proteins interact during ameboid movement.
You are a brilliant (but evil) biochemist who is developing a toxin that can be used to paralyze skeletal muscle. Using your knowledge of how muscle contraction happens at the cellular and molecular levels, identify two steps in the sequence of events necessary for the contraction that could be disrupted to cause paralysis, and explain why each disruption would prevent muscle contraction.
In terms of acute Q10 and chronic Q10+ define good acclimation. When would an animal have good acclimation? In terms of acute Q10 and chronic Q10+ define bad acclimation. When would an animal have bad acclimation?
Tetanus is a disease caused by Clostridium tetani characterized by muscle spasms. Just like the toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum, this toxin produced by C. tetani interferes with muscle contractions. Where botulina toxin causes paralysis, C. tetani toxin causes muscle spasms and painful contractions lasting minutes at a time. Additional symptoms include stiffness and rigidity of muscles. Using your knowledge of how muscles contract explain what steps within a muscle contraction are being interfered with to cause these symptoms?
With regard to muscle contraction, which of the following is an INCORRECT statement with regard to the interactions of filaments that occur in the sarcomere? A. When muscles are relaxed tropomyosin blocks binding sites on actin subunits, which keeps cross-bridges from forming. B. The myosin heads conduct a power stroke motion to slide when bound to actin, to move the "thin" filaments towards the center of the sarcomere. C. During contraction, actin subunits are removed from the ends of the "thin" filaments to shorten actin polymers, thus reducing the length of the sarcomere. D. "Thick" filaments are anchored at the M-line, while "thin" filaments are anchored at the Z-line. E. Numerous myosin heads engage with the actin filaments simultaneously, such that there is no back-slipping during the contraction process.
Which of the following statements correctly describes properties associated with the development of skeletal muscle cells? Check all that apply A. Skeletal muscle cell are multi nucleated cells B. Skeletal muscle cells have the capacity for repair due to the actions of myosatellite cells C. Skeletal muscle cells develop via the process of mitosis D. Skeletal muscle develop from a single myoblast cell asap please
An ion that is essential for muscle contraction is Ca2+. Which of the following statements about the calcium ion and muscle contractions is TRUE? Select one: a. Muscle contractions can occur whether Ca2+ concentrations are high or low. b. Ca2+ binds to the tropin-tropomyosin protein complex shifting it out of the way and allows the myosin to bind to the actin so contraction can occur. c. When Ca2+ concentrations are high, tropomyosin inhibits myosin binding and the muscle is relaxed. d. Ca2+ ions are stored in the sacroplasmic reticulum during the muscle contractions. I do not know which one is
