HOW MUSCLES GET THE ENERGY THEY NEED TO WORK 1) Muscle needs energy to contract and as stated previously the ‘universal energy currency’ of living systems is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This is largely produced within mitochondria‚ organelles which are often referred to as the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell. The ATP that results is used to provide the power for the muscle fibres to contract. Contraction itself (i.e. actual shortening movement) occurs when a bond is broken between ATP and one of its

The main concentration camp was Auschwitz. Auschwitz was the largest camp that was created by the Nazi. It was broken down into three main camps. The first camp was built in April 1940. It was known as Auschwitz 1. The second camp was built in October 1941. It was known as Birkenau. The third Camp was built in October 1942. It was known as Buna. The number of Victims in the Auschwitz Complex alone were absurd. The SS and police killed about 1.1 million people of all different backgrounds out of the

Lab 4: Skeletal Muscle Function Exercise 5: The Length-Tension Relationship Materials and Methods In this experiment I used a frog anesthetized with ms222. The frog’s skin is cut and removed from both the legs‚ the Achilles tendon is cut and the tendon and calf muscle are removed from the lower legs. The femur muscle is also cut. Attached to the legs are femur clamps which are connected to the transducer arm‚ stimulation electrodes are then positioned against the muscle. I plugged the output

The Activity of a Protease (Trypsin) Introduction Enzymes catalyze reactions by creating alternate reaction mechanisms whose transition states are more thermodynamically stable than uncatalyzed reactions (Berg et al.‚ 2002; UBC Department of Microbiology and Immunology‚ 2006). Increased thermodynamic stability in these transition states reduces the energy of activation‚ the minimum amount of energy input a chemical system requires for a reaction to occur (UBC Department of Microbiology
