I don't think so. You build more muscle by working out at a gym or at home.

Yes, that is how muscle building works. When you workout in the gym or at home, you damage your muscles and after 24-48 they repair themselves slightly string to prevent that same injury, over time the repairs have to get bigger. This is how you build muscle.

You get stronger. The individual muscle fibers become thicker with more myofibrils inside them. The number of muscle cells stays the same, contrary to popular belief that you grow more muscle fibers, this is not true.
True or false. the dietary objective of bodybuilders and weightlifters is to build the largest muscle mass possible?
i would say both because some only do it 4 the muscles, but others do it 2 loose weight. more muscles= more burn of body fat.

true
The longer a muscle is stretched prior to contraction the more tension it will be able to generate.?
True!

A contraction in which the muscle does not shorten but its tension increase is called isometric.true or false?
True Tension may build to the muscles peak tension capacity, but the muscle neither shortens or lengthens example. trying to lift a car
If you are interested in taking whey protein but you do not work out too often would you still gain muscle and lose fat?
No, you will not. Increasing your protein intake helps you build muscle bulk, not lose fats. Proteins are not stored in the body the way carbs are. So once you take proteins, you either build muscle with it, or it goes out the other end in your urine. NO pain, no gain. You gotta work for it, if you really want it. It's true that proteins are only used to build muscle, when muscle needs to be repaired. But excess protein can be converted to glucose. excess glucose can be stored as fat.
True or false When the contraction of a skeletal muscle is studied in the laboratory by applying an electrical charge to the muscle the contraction is called a muscle twitch.?
true
True or false smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscles?
smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscle
