Question
Chapter 39.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To compare:
The activity of tropomyosin and troponin in muscle contraction with that of the activity of competitive inhibitors in the enzyme action.
Introduction:
Muscles are an essential part of the body as they help the body in movement and generation of energy. The system involving the muscles is called the muscular system. It allows the movement of the muscle by contraction or relaxation. The three types of the muscles are the skeletal muscles, the smooth muscle and the cardiac muscles.

Reflect back on the Muscle Fatigue investigation we did earlier in this Activity. Choose one of your classmate’s interpretation to one of these questions:
What happened to your energy & ability to pinch the clothespin as you progressed through each trial? Why?
What might cause one to be able to get more squeezes, in other words, to have less fatigue? Explain in terms of biological concepts.
Suggest how the amount of ATP produced cause your muscle cells to be less efficient. When did this change in the amount of ATP produced occur in this investigation? How could you tell?
Your muscles would probably recover enough after 10 minutes to operate at the original efficiency. Explain why.
Show how specific details from the steps of cellular respiration add details to answer this question.
First, explain how resting membrane potential is established in terms of ion concentration and electric charge.
Next, explain the process of neural signal transmission from an alpha motor neuron to the muscle fiber. Do this by explaining how an AP is generated (ions and membrane proteins) at the neuron, how the signal is propagated, what happens at the axon terminal, what happens at the motor endplate, and explain all the molecular events that occur to cause muscle contraction.
The CrossFit workouts you and River perform consist of many bodyweight activities like pushups, pull-ups, and squats. Based on what you have been learning about muscles, what specific events are taking place at the cellular and molecular level of actin and myosin that allow you to AEROBICALLY CONTRACT muscles during these workouts?
Hint! Make sure to include in your answer: Ca2+, sliding filament model, and ATP

Outline the primary molecular steps and explain how this process is used by cells. How many actin monomers within an actin filament would a myosin molecule need to ratchet in order to contract a cell by approximately 1 um?

Acetylcholine is released into the neuromuscular junction by the axonal terminal. _____ B. The action potential, carried deep into the cell, causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions. ____ C. The muscle cell relaxes and lengthens. _____ D. Acetylcholine diffuses across the neuromuscular junction and binds to receptors on the sarcolemma. ____ E. The calcium ion concentration at the myofilaments increases; the myofilaments slide past one another, and the cell shortens. _____ F. Depolarization occurs, and the action potential is generated. _____ G. As calcium is actively reabsorbed into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, its concentration at the myofilaments decreases.arrow_forward
