The document provides information about skeletal muscle fiber proteins including their types, descriptions, and functions. It discusses contractile proteins like myosin and actin, regulatory proteins like tropomyosin and troponin, and structural proteins like titin, alpha-actinin, myomesin, nebulin, and dystrophin. It also distinguishes between anaerobic glycolysis which occurs without oxygen and produces minimal ATP, and aerobic respiration which occurs with oxygen and produces more ATP through the electron transport chain.

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.
