Chapter 29, Problem 6MCQ

Within the first few seconds of a 5- minute race, stored ATP is depleted. How do muscles obtain energy for the rest of the race?

a. High-energy phosphates are transferred from glycogen to ADP.

b. Creatine phosphate restores the ATP supply at first; then aerobic respiration generates ATP as long as O2 is available.

c. Actin filaments donate the high-energy phosphates that myosin filaments require.

d. Fermentation begins producing new ATP as soon as stored ATP is depleted.

Which is a false statement about skeletal muscle structure?a. A myofibril is composed of multiple muscle fibers.b. Most skeletal muscles attach to bones by connective-tissue tendons.c. Each end of a thick filament is surrounded by six thin filaments.d. A cross-bridge is a portion of the myosin molecule.e. Thin filaments contain actin, tropomyosin, and troponin.
In muscle cells, magnesium ions compete with calcium ions for binding sites on troponin molecules.  If a person has too high a concentration of magnesium ions in the blood, magnesium ions can prevent calcium ions from binding troponin.  A) What effect would this have on muscle contraction (strengthen, weaken, or no effect)?  B) Use your knowledge of how muscle fibers contract to explain your answer in part A.
Myosin binds to actin, then bends. What is ATP needed for next? A. to pump the Ca++ “keys” back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum B. to replace the strap and cover the binding sites C. to give feedback to the neuron that contraction occurred D. to un-bind myosin from actin and re-set for another powerstroke.
