How much atp is produced from one glucose molecule if no oxygen is available to a muscle cell during contraction?
andrew11 [14]
Production of ATP in the absence of oxygen is called anearobic respiration. Under anaerobic respiration,two molecules of ATP is produced from one molecule of glucose. These ATP are used for energy production by the contracting muscles.

Ann [662]

Environmental change has to do with any kind of alteration that occurs in the natural environment.

<h3>What is environmental change?</h3>

The term environmental change has to do with any kind of alteration that occurs in the natural environment. These changes may be caused by a lot of factors and they may lead to changes in the kind organism that are found in the habitat.

Thus, the types of environmental changes demonstrated are;

African elephants have been hunted to near extension to obtain ivory - Human exploitation

The eruption of Mount Saint Helens destroyed some populations of conifers - Natural disaster

An infection with fungus reduced the population of the North Africa elm trees - Diseases

Increasing global temperatures have affected the migration patterns of humpback whales - Climate change

What are the basic building blocks of fats?<br>​
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood. Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called a triglyceride.

Using the sliding flament theory, explain (or draw) the process of sarcomere shortening. Start from the point where calcium woul
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

  1. Calcium binds to troponin C
  2. Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
  3. Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
  4. ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
  5. The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
  6. ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
  7. ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
  8. Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

Explanation:  

In rest, the tropomyosin inhibits the attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments. Contraction initiates when an action potential depolarizes the inner portion of the muscle fiber. Calcium channels activate in the T tubules membrane, releasing <u>calcium into the sarcolemma.</u> At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to troponin C, troponin T alters the tropomyosin position by moving it and unblocking the binding sites. Myosin heads join to the uncovered actin-binding points forming cross-bridges, and while doing so, ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin. Finally, Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.
