Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The process of contraction of muscles is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The full form of ATP is adenosine triphosphate which contains three phosphate groups. The energy in human beings is stored as ATP.
ATP is synthesized in mitochondria (called power house of the cell) by oxidative phosphorylation. It acts as a source of energy to carry out the biological process.
The hydrolysis of ATP results in the formation of the chemical energy. This energy is further converted into other forms of energy.
The muscles are responsible for the body movements. The myosin and actin are the repeating units of the skeletal muscle. These filaments are responsible for the contraction of the muscles.
(b)
Interpretation:
The source of energy used in muscle contraction is to be stated.

- Quantum mechanics. Explain the basis of approximating the summation to an integral in translational motion.arrow_forwardQuantum mechanics. In translational motion, the summation is replaced by an integral when evaluating the partition function. This is correct becausea) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very small compared to the product kTb) the spacing of the translational energy levels is comparable to the product kTc) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very large compared to the product kTarrow_forwardDon't used Ai solutionarrow_forward

- Laser. Indicate the relationship between metastable state and stimulated emission.arrow_forwardThe table includes macrostates characterized by 4 energy levels (&) that are equally spaced but with different degrees of occupation. a) Calculate the energy of all the macrostates (in joules). See if they all have the same energy and number of particles. b) Calculate the macrostate that is most likely to exist. For this macrostate, show that the population of the levels is consistent with the Boltzmann distribution. macrostate 1 macrostate 2 macrostate 3 ε/k (K) Populations Populations Populations 300 5 3 4 200 7 9 8 100 15 17 16 0 33 31 32 DATO: k = 1,38×10-23 J K-1arrow_forwardDon't used Ai solutionarrow_forward
