Question

Reflect back on the Muscle Fatigue investigation we did earlier in this Activity. Choose one of your classmate’s interpretation to one of these questions:

  • What happened to your energy & ability to pinch the clothespin as you progressed through each trial? Why? 
  • What might cause one to be able to get more squeezes, in other words, to have less fatigue? Explain in terms of biological concepts.
  • Suggest how the amount of ATP produced cause your muscle cells to be less efficient. When did this change in the amount of ATP produced occur in this investigation? How could you tell?
  • Your muscles would probably recover enough after 10 minutes to operate at the original efficiency. Explain why. 

Show how specific details from the steps of cellular respiration add details to answer this question.
