When a motor neuron and the skeletal muscle cell it innervates are at rest:?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>Particularly the skeletal muscles at rest gain most of their energy from the aerobic respiration of fatty acids. Hence fatty acids provide the majority of the energy for muscle metabolism when a person is exercising at 25% of VO2max. However, the motor neuron is at rest when a neuron is not receiving any input there will be a potential difference. Thus, the potential difference measured when the neuron is inactive and it is caled the resting membrane potential. </span>

What happens to the actin and myosin during a muscle contraction?

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

<u>Once the myosin-binding sites are exposed, and if sufficient ATP is present, myosin binds to actin to begin cross-bridge cycling. Then the sarcomere shortens and the muscle contracts. In the absence of calcium, this binding does not occur, so the presence of free calcium is an important regulator of muscle contraction.</u>

Predict where the structural differences would occur between an-pep and other enzymes that do not digest the peptides.

kramer

AN-PEP enzyme refers to a dietary supplement, which has been shown to dissociate gluten in the stomach. It has been proven to help the individuals suffering from Gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease. The scientific name of the enzyme is Aspergillus Niger prolyl endoprotease.

However, certain structural differences would take place between AN-PEP, which prevent the enzyme from digesting the peptides. Some of the differences like amino acid differences would be expected in the active site, and in the regions, which influence the folded composition of the active site.
