Energy used by the body to perform muscular contractions is called adenosine diphosphate, or ADP.

Biology
1 answer:
Bezzdna [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The energy used for muscular cont ration is ATP(adenosine triphosphate) This is the energy currency produced in the mitochondrial during cellular respiration.

During muscles contraction.The ATPs is broken down to ADP and Pi.

This is the breakdown of energy rich bonds binding phosphate ions with ATP.The breakdown of the bonds produced -32kJper the 3 bonds in ATP. Therefore as each bond is broken, energy is produced for muscle contraction

It is an exergonic reaction with production of heat.

Thus ATP is used for muscle contraction.ADP is the intermediate of ATP when one Phosphate is removed during the breakdown.

Thus the sequence is Adenosine triphosphate (3 phosphate) to Adenosine diphosphate(2 phosphate) to Adenosine monophosphate (1 phosphate)

Each bond breakin gives equal energy of -32kJpermol.

How is a problem statement and hypothesis connected
aleksley [76]

Problem statement is a question that comes to the mind and then stated whereas hypothesis is given after the question has been identified and the background research has been done.

Problem statement is just a question while hypothesis is an answer to the problem statement that can be proved or disproved. The experiment is carried out after the hypothesis is given in order to validate it. The data of the experiment is studied and the results are interpreted. The results then either validate the given hypothesis.

Schach [20]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

<u>cardic muscles:</u> are present only in the heart .single cell is not very strong by itself, millions of cardiac muscle cells working together are easily able to pump all of the blood in the body through the heart in less than a minute. Cardiac muscle cells have a branched shape so that each cell is in contact with three of four other cardiac muscle cells.

<u>characteristics  of cardic muscles: </u> one nucleus ,striated, involuntary, branched and joined to one another by intercalated discs that contain  gap junctions for depolarization between cells and  hold the fibers together when the heart contracts.

The all-or-none response means that
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

option B) is correct

Explanation:

The all or none response means that if a muscle contracts, it will contract completely. Thus implying the all or none law which states:

The potential of a response of a muscle fiber or nerve cell is independent of the potential of the stimulus. If a stimulus is more than a certain critical value it will trigger muscle fiber or a nerve. Most importantly resulting in either an all-or-none response thus reducing possibility of any information loss.
