Question
Chapter 10, Problem 2CTQ
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason for the difference in the color of the meat from the breast and leg regions of chicken and migratory ducks and their adaptation for flying based on the color.
Introduction:
The chickens have white meat in their breast region. On the other hand, the leg region of the chickens and breast and leg regions of the migratory ducks have dark red meat. The breast muscles are used in flying by both the birds. The color of the region depicts the kind of muscle present.

C. Human muscles vs. Snake muscles
A researcher is investigating the composition of muscle tissue in thegastrocnemius muscles (in the calf of the leg) of athletes. She takesa needle biopsy from the muscle and determines the concentration(or enzyme activity) of several substances. Describe the major differences this researcher sees when comparing the muscles of athletes whoperform in the following events: 100-meter dash, weight lifting, and10,000-meter run
The ocular muscle has a very fast response time compared to the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. What is the use for this?
The muscle needs to react fast in order to respond quickly to external stimuli.
The ocular muscle is quite thin and can easily twitch.
The gastrocnemius muscle has too much muscle mass to be able to respond quickly.
The soleus muscle is far away from the brain compared to the ocular muscle.

- 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.
