I. Fill out the table below for a skeletal muscle fiber proteins. (Tortora)  
 
TYPE OF PROTEIN  DESCRIPTION 
Contractile proteins   It function by forming filaments
Myosin   Myosin filaments are referred to as "thick"
filaments, in striated muscle and smooth
muscle
Actin   Actin myosin filaments they are referred
to as "thin" filaments in muscle cells.
Regulatory proteins   It is the on and off contraction process.
The binding of the myosin heads to the
muscle actin is a highly-regulated process.
When a muscle is in a resting state, actin
and myosin are separated. To keep actin
from binding to the active site on myosin,
regulatory proteins block the molecular
binding sites.
Tropomyosin   covers the actin binding sites, preventing
myosin from forming cross-bridges while
in a resting state. Together with troponin
they prevent myosin from binding to actin
while the muscle is in a resting state
Troponin    Troponins are protein molecules that are
part of cardiac and skeletal muscle
Structural proteins   The proteins that are usually fibrous and
stringy are structural proteins. They are
nature's most common class of proteins.
Their primary role is to provide
mechanical support.
Titin  It is one of the largest protein molecules in
the body.  It act as a framework that holds
the myosin and actin filaments in place so
that the contractile machinery of the
sacromere will work.
Alpha-actinin  α-Actinin was primarily characterized as
an actin-binding protein. It is a protein
formed from microfilaments. For the
attachment of actin filaments to Z-lines in
skeletal muscle cells and to dense bodies
in smooth muscle cells, alpha-actinin is
essential.
Myomesin   Myomesin holds myosin filaments in a
lattice arrangement in the region of the M
 line, associated with creatine kinase and M
protein
Nebulin   Nebulin is one factor that determines the
length of the actin filaments in skeletal
muscle. Nebulin plays a role in numerous
cellular processes including regulation of
muscle contraction, Z-disc formation, and
myofibril organization and assembly.
Dystrophin   Dystrophin is a protein found in
muscle cells. It is one of a group of
proteins that work together to
strengthen muscle fibers and protect
them from injury as muscles contract
and relax
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
II. Distinguish between anaerobic glycolysis and aerobic respiration.  
 
ANAEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS  AEROBIC RESPIRATION 
Occurs in the absence of oxygen.  Occurs in the presence of oxygen. These
 This process produces a minimal amount process produce much more ATP than
of ATP. The process uses a respiratory glycolysis alone. It used when the heart
electron transport chain but does not use rate and breathing rate rise
oxygen as the electron acceptors. Used
during the first 1-2 minutes of exercise.
