You are enjoying your vacation on the coast and decided to go snorkeling. Your tidal volume is 460 mL and breathing rate is 14 b

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Option

A. 6440 mL/min

B. 4340 mL

C. 3500 mL/min

D. 2940 mL/min

Solution

It is required to find the minute ventilation which is equal to the product of rate of breathing and the total amount of gas being inhaled or exhaled per breathe.  Let this minute ventilation be denoted by "V_f"

Thus,

V_f = TD * B_r

where TD is the tidal volume and Br is the rate of breathing

Substituting the given values we get

V_f = 460 *14 \\V_f = 6440

We will now reduce the air held in the conducting zone of respiratory system

Air held per breathe = 210

Total Air held

= 210 * 14 \\= 2940

Amount of fresh air one can breathe in and out every minute

= 6440 - 2940 \\= 3500

Hence, Option C is correct

Of the following items listed below, which is the best description for why skeletal muscle stores glycogen? Of the following ite
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Skeletal muscle stores glycogen because it is a heavy consumer of energy.

Explanation:

Skeletal fiber contractions are based on different physiological and biochemical phenomena that happen in every cell and that need an amount of energy to occur. During muscle contraction, <em>myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, producing littles power strokes that, continuously, lead to muscle contraction</em>. To make this process possible, the muscle needs energy.  

Glycogen is a very important energetic reserve polysaccharide for animals. It is stored in the liver and muscles, and when the organism needs energy it degrades glycogen into glucose, which is an available form for the metabolism.  In the liver,<em> glycogen</em> is used to maintain constant levels of <em>blood glucose</em>. While in muscles, glycogen plays an important role in the glucose storage as a source of energy, needed and used only for contraction.

During muscle contraction, ATP molecules obtained from glucose are split to ADP and inorganic phosphate.
