Is it more effective to lift heavy weights on day one and then lift light weights on days three and five?

No, you might strain yourself and you might not be able to cope with the sudden extra weight. Start of light ( something comfortable, not too strenuous) then work your way up- as each one starts to get easier move up a weight class- this will be more effective than starting heavy and getting lighter by far.

Gaining muscle is basically doing some activity which breaks or tears your muscles which then heal over stronger, but if you do something too hard for you it will take much longer to heal, if you get used to the weight then as you move up weight classes your muscles will heal faster and in the long run will shorten the time taken to gain your muscle

Why is diet more important than a training regimen when building muscle mass?

It isn't more important. It is equally as important. So you are eating well, but just sitting on the couch... Only way to gain muscle is to overload them. If you lift the same weight (the remote control) over and over, you won't gain. If you keep overloading them without eating a proper diet, you will rob protein from other muscles in your body (keep transferring strength rather than gaining). Keep the principles of physics in mind. Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it is simply transferred. The energy you get from food is transferred into your body and utilized, if needed. As mentioned, if your muscles aren't overloaded, then they don't need the energy. This is when you look in the mirror and take up more space, rather then fitting in the same clothes and just weighing more.

How is delayed onset of muscle soreness caused?

It's caused by working the muscle to fatigue and the muscle is trying to recover and the muscle knows that it has to grow to handle what your doing to it so if you keep lifting heavy you will be sore as the muscle keeps growing to handle the extra weight your constantly putting on it.
