- Limiting Weights is the exercise that stimulates muscles to become stronger. As muscles gain in…. Which of the following processes occurs at the cellular level? Mitochondria is added to aid in ATP production. More calcium is released with each action potential. Larger diameter myochorils are added to each cell.arrow_forwardOnce the calcium binds, what happens next? The myosin binding sites become available so myosin binds to the actin and "kicks" causing the filaments to slide past each other. The ATP lets go from the actin and moves back into the high-energy position, ready to "kick" again. The troponin binds to the tropomyosin preventing a contraction. The ATP attaches to the myosin head causing it to "kick" and the Z-lines move closer together.arrow_forwardStriped muscles fibers are held together with: adipose tissue areolar connective tissue yellow fiberous tissue white fibrous tissue Since osteocytes are stationary cells that help make strong bones, they cannot move to get nutrients. Nutrients have to travel to the osteocytes. Nutrients will travel from the blood in the central canal to the osteocytes via canaliculi lamellae plasma O reticulararrow_forward

Exoskeletons provide greater protection of the internal organs. d. Exoskeletons provide less mechanical leverage.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true? (choose all that apply) The Z-disc is found in the middle of an l-band Myosin are known as the thick filaments The A-band is seen as "dark" under the microscope Tropomyosin is on the Actin filament During a muscle contraction, the sarcomeres move farther apart A sarcomere is located from one H-zone to the following H-zonearrow_forwardMost land animals with exoskeletons are smaller than the volume of a mouse, and most vertebrates are larger than a mouse (marine invertebrates can be somewhat bigger).
