Summary Introduction

To determine: The name of two muscle compounds that store energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds.

Introduction: The contraction of skeletal muscles results in the movement of body parts. The energy is required in the movement of muscles. The basic unit of muscle contraction is known as sarcomere, which is formed by the multiple repeating units of actin and myosin filaments.

Explanation of Solution

The main objective of muscles is to support the locomotion or movement of an organism. The muscle fibers collectively form the “muscular system.” The system fulfills the essential requirements which are required for the mechanical forces and generates the motion necessary for the motility of the organism. The two muscle compounds that store energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds are phosphocreatine and ATP.

Conclusion

The two muscle compounds that store energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds are ATP and phosphocreatine.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
