What uses are there for energy released in respiration apart from muscle contractions?

During respiration, some energy is converted to free energy, or energy available to the organism to do work. Not all of it is converted to free energy, because some is released as heat. This heat can be used in the winter for warmth. That is why when animals are ready to go into hibernation for the winter, they eat a lot, so when they are sleeping, cell respiration occurs, all the food they ate goes out in the form of heat.

What type of cellular respiration causes muscle contraction?
Aerobic cellular respiration produces energy for muscle contraction but this is not what causes the contractions. The binding properties between the proteins actin and myosin are what give muscles the ability to contract.
What activities do NOT require muscle contractions and energy?
death
What is released to muscle cell receptors to trigger muscle contractions?
Acetylcholine
When do muscle cells use respiration?
Your muscle cells use the energy released in cellular respiration to synthesize new compounds to maintain its tissues; to transport material in and out of its cell; and to perform its mechanical function of expanding and contracting.
What energy production process provides of the energy for muscle activity?
aerobic respiration
What type of energy is lost from a muscle cell during respiration?
heat energy
Which energy production process provides the majority of the energy for muscle activity?
aerobic respiration
What are the product obtained during cellular anaerobic respiration human muscle cell-?
The product obtained during cellular anaerobic respiration human muscle cell water, energy and carbon dioxide.
How do the muscle cells get energy needed to make glycogen?
They use glucose to release energy using respiration.
What is one direct source of energy for muscle contractions why?
Your muscle is made up of thousands of cells. Muscle cells have extra mitochondria, mitochondria power your muscles by burning glucose.
Which one of these does not require energy is it synthesis of protein or transmission of nerve impulses or tissue respiration or muscle contraction?
tissue respiration.
When does muscle fatigue occur?
Muscle Fatique occurs when low o2 conditions deplete Atp and cp stores acaerobic respiration creates lactic acid. drops in ph and o2 debt lead to failure of the muscle to maintaain contractions
