Skeletal muscles, which move bones, consist of cells fused into long fibers. These muscle fibers differ in how they make ATP. Red muscle fibers use aerobic respiration to generate ATP. Red muscle fibers have greater endurance because they can continue to generate ATP as long as they continue to get oxygen. White muscle fibers use anaerobic respiration to generate ATP. White muscle fibers can generate ATP very quickly for short bursts of energy but they cannot sustain this for long periods of time.
Red muscle fibers are darker in color than white muscle fibers. This difference in color is partially because red muscle fibers have many more mitochondria than white muscle fibers, and the mitochondria require a large number of myoglobin proteins. Myoglobin proteins help transport oxygen to the mitochondria and create the deep red color of red muscle fibers.
Which of the following statements correctly describes why white muscle fibers do not need as many mitochondria as red muscle fibers?…
ATP is a limited source of energy for skeletal muscle contraction. The cell has other ways of producing ATP depending on the duration and type of exercise. Describe these other processes contributing to ATP production in a person is running on a treadmill for 30 minutes.
A child is born with a rare disease in which mitochondria are missing from certain skeletal muscle cells. Physicians find that the muscle cells function. Not surprisingly, they also find that ______.
the muscles contain large amounts of carbon dioxide following even mild physical exercise
the muscles contain large amounts of lactic acid following even mild physical exercise
the muscles require extremely high levels of oxygen to function
the muscle cells cannot split glucose to pyruvic acid

- Jogging is considered aerobic exercise because the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels) can adjust to supply the oxygen needs of working cells. In contrast, sprinting the 100-meter dash might be called anaerobic (lacking oxygen) exercise, and golf nonaerobic exercise. Explain these last two observations.arrow_forwardWhy do you think a person is able to perform anaerobic exercise (such as lifting and holding a heavy weight) only briefly but can sustain aerobic exercise (such as walking or swimming) for long periods?
