What is the difference between isotonic and isometric exercise?
Isometric exercises are exercises that are done statically, meaning there is no range of motion while training. The muscles are engaged against a resistance, but do not move. Examples of isometric exercises: The plank for abs, wall sits (sitting against a wall and holding the position), calf raises in which you remain static at the top of the lift. Isotonic exercises cause muscles to contract or extend while engaging resistance. This includes bicep curls, push ups, squats, and most other exercises.

What is the origin of the bicep curl?
if you're speaking anatomically (as in origin and insertion), the origin of the bicep curl would be its fixed attachment at the supraglenoid tubercle and the coracoid process (two heads), as a bicep curl is an open chain motion (distal end is free moving --> proximal end is the origin). it would be more correct, though, to say refer to it as the origin of the biceps during a bicep curl.
