Why did the enzymatic rate of activity increase as the temperature increased from 5 C to 35 C but then decrease as the temperature continued to increase from 35 C to 60 C Going from 5 C to 35 C brings the temperature closer to the average body temperature of a bovine but going from 35 C to 60 C goes too far beyond the average body temperature of a bovine Going from 5 C to 35 C brings the temperature closer to the average body temperature of a bovine but after reaching the optimal temperature there is no more enzyme left to continue the reaction

In the temperature experiment which temperature produced the greatest rate of enzymatic activity 60 C 5 C 35 C

Turn to The Big Picture of Skeletal Muscle Contraction Figure 10 20 FYI there is also an animation on Mastering A P Put the five stages of skeletal muscle contraction in order 5 ww 4 2 1 3 V relaxation contraction excitation preparation for contraction excitation contraction coupling

With calcium and ATP present contraction can occur The myosin head cocks bind to actin and myosin pulls actin toward the center of the sarcomere This movement of myosin is called the and it is responsible for contraction action potential filament switch power stroke resting membrane potential

At rest calcium ions are stored in the of the muscle cell Once the action potential is received calcium ions are released into the mitochondria cytoplasm nucleus extracellular space sarcoplasmic reticulum cytosol T tubule terminal cisternae

When the action potential stops the muscle will relax The calcium ions are pumpec back into the O rough endoplasmic reticulum Olysosomes peroxisome sarcoplasmic reticulum
