When performing a wall sit or a squat (repeated motion with the squat), what major muscle groups are being used

Biology

Katen [24]3 years ago

The major muscles involved while performing a wall sit or squat are the quadriceps muscles.

Explanation:

Exercises like wall sit or squat are an isometric exercises which works the entire group of lower body muscles.

Isometric exercises are endurance building exercises which improves the muscle endurance by holding it in a position for longer time. These exercises does not involve any big bodily movements but works by tensing the muscles.

Both these exercises primarily involve the front thigh muscles or the quadriceps. Squats and wall sits help to tone and shape the quads and other muscles involved. The angle of the body should be maintained at right angle to reduce the pressure on these muscles.

Other muscles which are involved in these exercises are the hamstrings, core, lower back muscles etc.

tresset_1 [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. Also, you forgot to show the flowchart. The flowchart is attached below and the full question is:

The flowchart below shows the three generations of a cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a pea plant that has green pods. Green pods are the dominant trait. The flowchart is missing the labels that describe the traits.

In which squares should the phrase “Green pods” appear?

1.A and D  2.B and E  3.A,C and D  4.A,B,C,D and E

Answer:

3.A,C and D

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the flowchart shows the crossing of a pea plant with dominant features (green pods - AA) and a pea plant with recessive features (yellow features - aa). The crossing between plants with AA and aa alleles generates a completely Aa population, which in this case, has the dominant characteristic, that is, it has green pods. This is because the "Aa" alleles are called heterozygous and develop the dominant characteristic.

As we can see in the flowchart, the crossing between the two pea plants generated an offspring that is identified by table C, as we know this offspring has green pods and in the flowchart it is represented by a grayish rectangle. Therefore, we can say that the other gray rectangles represent pea plants with green pods, which are rectangles A, C and D.

Why is it surprising that we know more about the moon or Mars then we do about the deep sea floor and marine habit as a whole?
Ludmilka [50]
Because we have been to busy trying to explore new areas rather than our own and were probably to scared to know what's in our planet so it doesn't cause panic
