Chapter 43, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

There are three different types of muscle in the body, the cardiac, skeletal, and the smooth muscles. The muscles help in the movement of different body parts. They protect delicate organs from various injuries and provide shape to the body. The skeletal muscles particularly help in the movement of organs. There are 600 skeletal muscles in our body.

Answer to Problem 1TYK

Correct answer:

One body part rotates with respect to another body part.

Explanation of Solution

Justification/explanation for the correct answer:

Option (c) states that one part of the body may rotate with respect to another part. The skeletal muscles are attached to the bones from both sides of the muscles. Contraction in one muscle helps in the movement of different body parts. This depends on the point of attachment of the muscle. Hence, option (c) is correct.

Explanation for the incorrect answer:

Option (a) states that skeletal muscles are attached to bones with the help of ligaments. This statement is incorrect because skeletal muscles are attached to the bones with the help of cords of connective tissue known as tendons. So, it incorrect.

Option (b) states that bending of the vertebrate muscles do not extend the body parts. The extension of the body parts depends on the point of attachment of the vertebrate muscles to the bones by the tendons, so it extends the body parts according to the point of attachment. So, it incorrect.

Option (d) states that skeletal muscles are present in the walls of blood vessels and intestines. The smooth muscles are present in the walls of blood vessels, body cavities, and intestines. The skeletal muscle is stiff so it is not present in cavities or walls of blood vessels. So, it incorrect.

Option (e) states that cells of the skeletal muscles do not contain nuclei. This statement is incorrect because the nuclei are present in the cells of the skeletal muscles. It is also controlled by the somatic nervous system of our body so the nuclei must be present as it plays an important role in a cell. So, it incorrect.

Hence, options (a), (c), (d), and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The skeletal muscles of our body are connected by tendons to different bones. The skeletal muscles help in the movement our body parts such as eyeballs, legs, hands, and so on. The movement of one body part may rotate another body part, depending upon the point of attachment of the muscle.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…
Normal dive (for diving humans) normal breathing dive normal breathing Oz level CO2 level urgent need to breathe Oz blackout zone high CO2 triggers breathing 6. This diagram shows rates of oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the blood in relation to the levels needed to maintain consciousness and trigger the urgent need to breathe in diving humans. How might the location and slope of the O₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • How might the location and slope of the CO₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • • Draw in predicted lines for O2 and CO2, based on your reasoning above. How might the location of the Urgent Need to Breathe line and the O2 Blackout Zone line differ for diving marine mammals? What physiological mechanisms account for each of these differences, resulting in the ability of marine mammals to stay submerged for long periods of time?
