- A muscle biopsy is taken after 12 days of heavy strength training. The muscle cells appear to have a greater cross- sectional area than before the training. What is the best conclusion? After 12 days of heavy strength training, muscle cells show hypertrophy. Muscle cells undergo hyperplasia after 12 days of strength training. Strength training does not cause any increase in muscle cell volume. Hyperplasia does not occur in muscle cells with heavy strength training.arrow_forwardYou wanted to prepare a fish dish for your grandfather that he loves the dried salted Codfish.

In this process, the membrane of the secretory vesicle becomes part of the cell membrane. Because small pieces of membrane are continually added to the cell membrane, we would expect the cell membrane to become larger and larger as secretion continues. However, the cell membrane stays the same size. Explain how this happens.arrow_forward
