The smooth, but steady, increase in muscular tension produced by increasing the number of active motor units is called a recruitment.

Muscle tension is the force produced when a muscle contracts (or when sarcomeres shorten). The two primary forms of skeletal muscle contractions, isotonic contractions and isometric contractions, are produced when a muscle contracts against a load that is not moving.

  1. A load is transported as the length of the muscle varies during isotonic contractions, in which the tension in the muscle remains constant (shortens). Concentric and eccentric contractions are the two varieties of isotonic contractions.
  2. When a muscle contracts isometrically, the angle of a skeletal joint remains the same while tension is produced in the muscle. Sarcomeres shorten and muscles tense up during isometric contractions, but the load is not moved since the force generated is insufficient to overcome the resistance provided by the load.

Furkat [3]
The correct answer is "trans fatty acids".

Trans fatty acids (colloquially as trans fats) are a type of unsaturated fatty acids wherein instead having its double bonds in the cis configuration giving the fatty acid "kinks" in the molecules making it more soluble; the double bonds in trans fats are in the trans configuration (hence the name) and this will not give the molecule kinks making it less soluble. Less soluble trans fats are notorious in depositing in peripheral arteries as well as in coronary arteries that increase the risk for developing atherosclerosis.
