What else can I help you with?
Why can our cells respire a aerobically for short time?
Our cells can respire aerobically for a short time because of the presence of oxygen in our muscles.
Why would a sprinter respire anaerobically?
A sprinter respire anaerobically primarily due to the high-intensity nature of their activity, which demands energy production at a rate that exceeds the oxygen supply available. During short bursts of intense exercise, such as sprinting, the body relies on anaerobic glycolysis to quickly generate ATP, the energy currency of cells. This process allows for rapid energy release but results in the accumulation of lactic acid, which can lead to fatigue. Therefore, anaerobic respiration is crucial for sprinters to maintain performance over short distances.
What is the short term effect of hypertrophy?
hypertrophy is when the cells in a muscle duplicate and cause the muscle to get larger
How do myosatellite cells heal muscle cells after an injury?
They work as a filler. Depending how large of an injury the muscle fiber took, myosatellite cells move to the tear and fill the gap. In short, it catalyzes the healing process.
When there is no oxygen available to human muscle cells the cells can continue to make ATP for a short time using what?
lactic acid fermentation
Can a muscle cell split into two nerve cells?
Stem cells (that may differentiate into any cell) turn into nerve and muscle cells. Once they differentiate to the different type of it cannot switch from one type of cell to another. So, in short, the answer is "no."
What do the heart muscle cells do?
Cardiac muscle is what pumps the blood throughout the body. In short its contraction squeezes the juice in our water filled sacks. Brian M.D.
What is the structure of striated muscle cells?
Striated muscle cells, also known as skeletal muscle cells, are long cylindrical cells with multiple nuclei located at the periphery. They contain specialized structures called myofibrils, which consist of repeating units called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are the functional units responsible for muscle contraction and are composed of thick and thin filaments made of proteins such as actin and myosin.
List three types of body cells that must be replaced frequently?
Muscle cells,Skin cells, and white blood cells.
Copmpared to other body cells a muscle cell is likely to have more of what organelles for energy?
Mitochondria. Muscle cells need more energy over a short period of exercise than most other cells. The cell uses mitochondria to transform food energy into a energy source it can use for its reactions.
What do cells need to work well?
Cells need energy to work, but they get this from using oxygen and glucose to respire, Oxygen + Glucose -> Water + Carbon dioxide and produces energy When oxygen is not available, the body can survive on anaerobic respiration for a short period of time. Glucose -> Lactic acid + Carbon dioxide
Where does the creatine phosphate system occur?
The creatine phosphate system occurs in the cytoplasm of muscle cells. It provides a rapid source of ATP for muscle contractions during short bursts of high-intensity exercise.
