An athlete trains for a weight-lifting event in the Olympics. What type of muscle fiber would be the most important for this ath

lete to develop?
Select one:
a. Slow twitch, because they contain more mitochondria than fast twitch fibers
b. Fast twitch, because they primarily use aerobic respiration
c. Fast twitch, because they primarily use lactic acid fermentation
d. Slow twitch, because they can contract for long periods of time without fatiguing

Well weight lifting would require endurance, so I would say D. Have a nice day :D

Answer:

The correct answer will be option c.

Explanation:

Two types of skeletal muscles are used in exercise: fast twitch and slow twitch.

Slow-twitch muscles help in long-endurance exercises like marathon running as they have more mitochondria and use aerobic respiration to produce energy.

But fast-twitch especially types IIb muscle is used in the exercise which requires powerful bursts like weight-lifting and sprinting as fibres do not have the capability to store oxygen so begin producing energy by lactic acid fermentation.

Thus, option c is the correct answer.

Help!! I'm doing a lab report and am unsure which variables are independent, dependent, and controlled. My lab is due tomorrow
victus00 [196]

Im not sure but if you think of it, the one that you didn't put any salt is a independent  variable because it doesn't really rely on anything it doesn't have salt. The Dependent variable would be the 2nd and the 3rd cup because it doesn't have much salt but the 4th cup has lots of salt so its basically controlled. Hope it helps !

How does the respiratory system maintain homeostasis?
kotykmax [81]
Homeostasis is maintained by the respiratory system in two ways: gas exchange and regulation of blood pH. Gas exchange is performed by the lungs by eliminating carbon dioxide, a waste product given off by cellular respiration.

As DNA replication continues and the replication bubble expands, the parental double helix is unwound and separated into its two
liberstina [14]

Answer:

A. Helicases

B. Single strand binding proteins

C. Single strand binding protein

D. Topoisomerases

Explanation:

The helicases bind on the replication fork aiding in the unwounding of the DNA helix to allow for replication. The single strange binding proteins attach/bind to the separated single stranded DNA after the replication fork to prevent re-annealing of the single stranded DNA preventing Hydrogen bond formation that reanneals these two strands together. The topoisomerases are found just ahead of the replication fork preventing overwounding/ positive supercoils of the DNA. They do this by introducing breaks into the phosphate backbone of the DNA allowing them rotate forming negative supercoils and attaching the breaks once the DNA strand is relaxed.

What is the experiment called, and what is its significance?
Triss [41]

Answer:

The most well-known Hershey-Chase experiment was the final experiment, also called the Waring Blender experiment, through which Hershey and Chase showed that phages only injected their DNA into host bacteria, and that the DNA served as the replicating genetic element of phages
