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.

3.Whenever the surfaces in contact tend to move or move with respect to each other, the force of friction comes into playRequire

fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Friction occurs irrespective of the state of the matter.

Explanation:

Friction is the force that takes place when there are two different surfaces slide or moves across one another and causes a resistance between surfaces. The friction always takes place opposite direction to the other surface direction of moving.

Pushing a book on a table, pulling a heavy cart on road all are examples of friction. The friction that occurs in liquids and gases is called fluid friction. Thus, the friction takes place irrespective of the state of the matter.

How do you think an athlete might be able to increase cellular respiration?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Cellular respiration increases as you increase you exercise intensity. Cellular respiration includes the reactions in the cells of your body when they convert the food you eat into a molecule of energy in a form your cells can use. This energy is called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.

Which two macromolecules are used as the primary source of energy for cellular respiration

noname [10]

The molecule that is the primary source of energy in all cells is ATP, which is definitely not a macromolecule. Other primary sources of energy include other sugars, proteins, and fats. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
