What else can I help you with?
During nuclear fission and fusion, what is matter that seems to disappear actually converted into?
During nuclear fission and fusion, matter that seems to disappear is actually converted into energy.
Glucose is converted to what during glycolysis?
Actually glucose is what sugar turns in to during glycolysis.
Which myofilaments actually do the pulling during the sliding filament model of muscle contraction?
thick filaments
What is oxytocin and what role does it play in human reproduction?
Oxytocin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland. It causes increased contraction of the uterus during labor. Next time, actually do your bio homework though (;
What chemical reactions occur in the muscle during latent period of muscle contraction?
During the latent period of muscle contraction Ca++ is being released from the sacroplasmic reticulum and filament movement is taking up slack. This takes approx. 2 milliseconds.
What energy is converted to thermal energy as your muscles contract?
Chemical energy stored in the muscles is converted to thermal energy during muscle contraction. This process is not 100% efficient, with some energy being lost as heat.
During nuclear fusion energy is released because some matter is actually converted to?
During nuclear fusion, energy is released because some matter is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. This means that a small amount of matter is converted into a large amount of energy, contributing to the immense power output of fusion reactions.
Why do toes curl during sex?
Ligaments in the toes respond to serotonin released during coitus. Contraction is a involuntary response to this process.
During isometric contraction the energy used appears as movement?
During isometric contraction, no movement occurs, as the muscle is generating force without changing in length. The energy used is still expended by the muscle, but it is not converted into movement. Instead, the energy is dissipated as heat within the muscle tissue.
Can skeletal muscle contract without shortening?
Yes. One possibility is that the load on the muscle exceeds the tension produced by the muscle so that the muscle actually lengthens during contraction (eccentric contraction).
What muscle contraction occurs in the biceps brachii during the upward phase of the bicep curl?
a concentric contraction- a concentric contraction involves the muscle length, shortening during a contraction! YA-trick-YA!
Does the Z line shorten during muscle contraction?
Yes, the Z line shortens during muscle contraction.
