Describe what would happen in the following experiment: A 2.5-g weight is attached to the end of the isolated wholeskeletal musc

le used in these experiments. Simultaneously, the muscle is maximally stimulated by 8.5 volts and the platformsupporting the weight is removed. Will the muscle generate force? Will the muscle change length? What is the name for thistype of contraction?

Answer:

The answers have been explained below in separate paragraphs -

Explanation:

Yes, after stimulation, the muscle will generate force but the reaction of the muscle will not be visible because the force generated will be of low intensity and passive in nature and the load pulling the muscle downward will not allow it to move under the influence of this force.

After removing the platform the muscle will change length if the weight is still connected to the muscle. The connected weight will pull the muscle downward and as a result the length of the muscle will be increased. This increase in length will not be due to muscle contraction, it will only be due to the force pulling downward.

This type of contraction is termed as isometric contraction in which even though the muscle is activated but it is not allowed to contract or relax due to the presence of an external force.

What passes through a cell using passive transport?
Tanzania [10]
Passive transport is a movement ofbiochemicals and other atomic or molecularsubstances across cell membranes without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. The rate of passive transport depends on thepermeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids andproteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.

What were your controls for this experiment? what did they demonstrate? why was saliva included in this experiment?
Vlad1618 [11]

Positive control is Ginger root (should indicate the presence of amylase)

Negative control is Cellulose (should not contain amylase)

Here the presence of amylase is tested by testing the presence of starch using an IKI solution. Saliva is included in this experiment because it contains the enzyme amylase.

How many ATP molecules are produced during fermentation
QveST [7]
The web energy gain in fermentation is 2 ATP molecules<span>/glucose molecule. In both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation, all the NADH produced in glycolysis is consumed in fermentation, so there is no web NADH production,
