Muscle Contraction Lab Report

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the substance that are required in order for muscle to contract. We are experiencing this contraction by having three different solutions which contains their own disparate chemicals inside.

Hypothesis:
Solution A: 0.25% ATP solutions in distilled water; Base on muscle contraction mechanism which we know the force that generating cycle required is indeed of a lot of energy in the form of ATP, but there are additional solutions; KCl, MgCl2 which are needed to be added to ATP in order to boost the strength muscle contraction, due to strong affinity that myosin have for these ions.
Solution B: 0.25% ATP solution in distilled water + 0.05M KCl + 0.001M MgCl2 In my opinion this solution would cause the highest on average for the muscle contraction compared to the results from the other two solutions since this solution include ATP which is an absolute need for muscle contraction to happen and also it include 0.05M KCl and 0.001M MgCl2 which as it was mentioned on hypothesis part of solution A are added to ATP to boost the strength of muscle contraction.

Solution C: 0.05M KCl + 0.001M MgCl2 in Distilled water Base on our knowledge of how necessary is the need of ATP in order for muscle contraction to happen, i don't expect any of a change from
Transfer one of the halves to a different plate than add glycerol to it. Than label them to one being control (no solution added) and other one treatment. It's important to measure and record the length of each strand in millimeters. Next step is to add 2-3 drops of the specific solution to the tube, after 30-60 seconds measure each strand again and record it as well, final part of the test would be to look at these strand closely by microscope and notice the difference between before and after of solution being
