Aerobic exercise works muscles at a slow enough rate that the body can keep them supplied with oxygen. Which of the following are results of aerobic exercise? a.) There is a reduction in the number of mitochondria. b.) More myofibrils are formed. c.) Mitochondria increase in number and size. d.) The number of blood capillaries decreases.

This means that the muscles are able to use oxygen to produce energy for longer periods of time. a.) There is a reduction in the number of mitochondria. This is incorrect. Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for producing energy in cells, and aerobic Show more…

Which statement is NOT true of exercise? a) Increased heart rate transports oxygen to muscles more rapidly. b) Isotonic exercise is aerobic because it involves contraction with movement. c) Increased cell respiration produces more heat, ATP and carbon dioxide. d) Increased respiration is necessary to exhale excess carbon dioxide

Which of the following is true as exercise intensity increases? a. Energy is supplied in a smooth continuum where one system may predominate depending upon the intensity. b. When the anaerobic threshold is reached, muscles begin getting oxygen and suddenly begin producing lactate, which can be measured in the blood. c. There is a point in ultra-endurance activities where fat metabolism stops completely and protein metabolism supplies nearly all of the energy. d. At a certain point, aerobic metabolism is shut off and anaerobic metabolism is turned on.

After a brief period of intense exercise, the activity of muscle pyruvate dehydrogenase is greatly increased. This increased activity is most likely due to: (A) decreased ADP. (B) increased acetyl-CoA. (C) increased NADH/NAD' ratio. (D) increased pyruvate concentration.
