What is a fast fiber?
A Fast Oxidative Fiber is a type of muscle fiber with many mitochondria and capillaries. This type has a high myoglobin content. This type of muscle tires more quickly than the slow oxidative fibers and is an intermediate sized muscle. This muscle is good for sprinting and other short, fast-paced activities.
What type of protein is involved with shortening of muscle cells to produce movement?
the protein myoglobin pushes along actin to shorten the muscle fiber
Why are fast twitch fibers lighter in color than slow twitch fiber?
Fast twitch fibers are lighter in color than slow twitch fibers primarily due to their lower myoglobin content. Myoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen, is abundant in slow twitch fibers, giving them a darker appearance and enabling sustained aerobic activity. In contrast, fast twitch fibers rely more on anaerobic metabolism for quick bursts of energy, resulting in less myoglobin and a lighter color. This structural difference reflects their distinct functional roles in muscle activity.
Where can you find information concerning the fiber content of specific foods?
Information about the fiber content of specific foods can be found on the Continuum Health Partners web site. Type, "Fiber Content Chart", into the search bar on the top right of their home page, and you will find an alphbetically ordered list of foods and their fiber content.
Does cooking vegetables reduce their fiber content?
Cooking vegetables can break down some of the fiber they contain, but it doesn't necessarily reduce the overall fiber content significantly. Some types of fiber are more resistant to heat than others, so the impact on fiber content can vary depending on the cooking method and duration.
What is futura fiber?
Futura fiber is a fiber from the table of content mostly use in synthetic hair extensions.
Which bread has the higher fiber content?
Whole-grain breads are highest in fiber.
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.
Is rat red meat or white meat?
Rat meat is generally considered to be red meat. This classification is based on the muscle fiber type and myoglobin content, which are characteristics associated with red meat. Although rats are not commonly consumed in many cultures, they are eaten in some regions where they are considered a source of protein.
Does the process of making a smoothie destroy the fiber content in the ingredients?
Yes, blending ingredients to make a smoothie can break down the fiber content, but some fiber will still remain in the final product.
What contain the least amount of fiber apples prunes potatoes or white rice?
Among apples, prunes, potatoes, and white rice, white rice contains the least amount of fiber. While apples and prunes are known for their fiber content, potatoes also provide some fiber, especially if the skin is consumed. White rice, particularly the refined version, has had most of its fiber removed during processing, making it the lowest in fiber of the four options.
Is banana high in fiber content?
yes
