I found the full exercise on the internet. Attached is an image of the characteristics and the types of muscle fibres.
Fast twitch:
- few mitochondria (most of the energy comes from acid lactic fermentation)
- low myoglobin content (O2 is not used as the main source of energy)
- shorter twitches
- anaerobic (uses mainly glucose and no O2)
- easily fatigued (as soon as glucose storage finishes fatigue comes in)
- high glycogen content (glucose as the main source of energy and therefore more glucose storage in the form of glycogen)
Slow twitch:
- high myoglobin content (energy comes from O2 and therefore is needed much myoglobin)
- aerobic (uses O2)
- low glycogen content (as O2 is the main source of energy, glucose is not needed as much)
-longer twitches
Macrophage is a type of white blood cell which is a phagocyte.
Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cell in humans and arise from granulocytes.

Answer:
The source of energy that is used to power the movement of contraction in working muscles is adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the body's biochemical way to store and transport energy. However, ATP is not stored to a great extent in cells. So once muscle contraction starts, the making of more ATP must start quickly.
Answer:
Bacterial genomes contain small transposable elements termed <u>Jumping Genes</u> that resemble transposons of eukaryotic cells.
Explanation:
Jumping genes are small parts of the DNA that program enzymes and move it from one DNA location to another, sometimes on the same molecule of DNA sometimes on another molecule.
Cheers!
