What else can I help you with?
The bright red color of skeletal muscle is due mainly to its?
Myoglobin-myoglobin stores oxygen from red blood cells, which are red. The reason myoglobin stores oxygen (if you wanna know) is to have it available when there's muscle activity.
The characteristic reddish brown color of skeletal muscle comes from which substance?
myoglobin gives the muscles the reddish brown color
What compound stored oxygen inside skeletal muscle cells?
keratinThe correct answer is NOT keratin... the correct answer is myoglobin. This is the oxygen-binding pigment in muscle.
Do skeletal muscle cells have glycosomes?
No, skeletal muscle cells do not have glycosomes. Glycosomes are specialized organelles found in certain types of cells, particularly in protists and some parasites, where they are involved in glycolysis. Skeletal muscle cells primarily rely on mitochondria for energy production.
Do cardiac muscle cells contain more mitochondria than skeletal muscle cells?
Both are very active.But skeletal muscles have more.
What does myoglobin do for muscles?
Myoglobin's function is similar to that of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in red blood cells to various tissues. Myoglobin has even higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin and is specific to muscle cells. Myoglobin thus acts as a storage of oxygen, as it holds oxygen inside heart and skeletal muscles.
What molecule present primarily within oxidative skeletal muscle cells as an oxygen buffer due to its ability to bind oxygen?
Myoglobin
Which type of muscles contain spindle shaped cells?
Skeletal muscle tissue has cylindrical cells. Due to the cells in the skeletal muscle, the muscle can now allow movement to the bones in the body.
Why do same cells contain many mitochondria?
Skeletal muscle cells, for instance, contain many mitochondria because the energy consumed in the contraction of the sarcomere is enormous. Skin cells, for instance, contain much less mitochondria as the cellular work the need to do is minimal compared to skeletal muscle cells.
Cylindrical muscle cells that contain multiple nuclei located peripherally within the cell would be?
Skeletal muscle cells only
What substance in muscle seems able to store oxygen temporarily?
Myoglobin is synthesized in cells and imparts the reddish-brown color of skeletal muscle tissue. Like hemoglobin, myoglobin can combine loosely with oxygen. This ability to temporarily store oxygen reduces a muscle's requirement for a continuous blood supply during muscular contraction.
What is the oxygen-carrying protein of the muscle cells?
Myoglobin
