In 2013, Zach Bitter set a new record for running a 100 mile Ultra-Marathon in less than 12 hours. (Holy smokes!!!) If we were to look at the composition of his skeletal muscles (particularly in his legs), we would likely find a greater proportion of: A)Type I Fibers b)Type IIX Fibers Creatine phosphate can supply the phosphate for conversion of ADP into ATP. The enzyme needed for this to occur is: A)creatine kinase B)creatine hydrolase C)adenylate cyclase D)adenylate phosphatase

While the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle was first described by nineteenth-century microscopists, its true significance was not ap-preciated until its intricate structure was revealed much later by the electron microscope. What could you tell a nineteenth-century microscopist to enlighten him or her about the structure of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and its role in the coupling of excitation and contraction?
If a muscle cell’s sarcoplasmic reticulum had little to no Ca2+, could the muscle cell still produce an electrical impulse, and would the muscle cell still contract? Explain.
If we need ATP for both contraction and relaxation, how would you explain why rigor mortis appears in a dead person, but then goes away?
Which of the following molecules is important for storage of oxygen in skeletal muscle? Select one:
During evolution, skeletal muscle became adapted to functional de-mands ranging from sudden, withdrawal movements of a startled worm, to the sustained contractions required to maintain mammalian posture, to supporting a long, fast chase across an African savanna. What are some of the fiber types in vertebrate muscle that evolved to support these kinds of activities?
Why does Skeletal muscle cells contain more mitochondria than other organelles?
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.
A skeletal muscle can be stimulated, under laboratory conditions, with a supramaximal stimulus. Is it possible for the muscle to respond with a supramaximal contraction? Explain
If you were to watch muscle tissue contract: Under a light microscope, would you see the muscle fibers get narrower, or the striations get thinner? Explain. At the EM level, focusing on one sarcomere, you would be able to see a region of thick filaments overlapping two regions of thin filaments. Use the structure of the thick filaments to explain how ONE region of thick filaments is able to pull in microfilament in two opposite directions (both toward the center of the sarcomere).
The 2 main proteins in muscle cells are _______ and ___
Describe the major events that occur when a muscle fiber contracts. Include all chemicals, structures and processes at a microscopic level starting at the neuromuscular junction and ending with the relaxation of the muscle fiber
What event causes a troponin-tropomyosin complex to regain its original shape in muscle relaxation? a. stimulation of ACh receptors b. diffusion of Na+ back into transverse tubules c. return of Ca2+ into the sarcoplasmic reticulum d. breaking of the bond with tropomyosin
