Across
- 4. the ability of muscle cells to forcefully shorten.
- 6. a water-soluble, organic liquid that is produced by breaking down carbohydrates and sugars through the glycolytic pathway (glycolysis).
- 9. found throughout the body and functions to contract in response to a stimulus
- 10. an ability to be stretched without tearing
- 12. an ability to respond to stimuli.
- 14. the ability to recoil or bounce back to the muscle's original length after being stretched.
- 16. the main high-energy, phosphate-storage molecule of muscle.
- 17. a series of structural changes in the actomyosin cross-bridge driven by hydrolysis of ATP.
Down
- 1. the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food.
- 2. decrease in size or wasting away of a body part or tissue.
- 3. a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of a phosphate bond in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to form adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
- 5. a temporary oxygen shortage in the body tissues arising from exercise
- 7. an increase and growth of muscle cells.
- 8. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
- 11. mainly produced in muscle cells and red blood cells
- 13. makes up the thick middle layer of the heart.
- 15. consists of thick and thin filaments that are not arranged into sarcomeres giving it a non-striated pattern
