Assignment: Story: A Rigorous Investigation The Relationships Between Cellular Respiration, Muscle Contraction, and Rigor Mortis (By Claudia Bode and Allison Jablonski)
1. Cellular Respiration Questions:
a. Which part of cellular respiration uses 2 ATP and produces 4 ATP per glucose molecule? Where does this set of reactions occur in the cell?
b. Which part of cellular respiration produces the most ATP? How does it work?
c. Which part of cellular respiration produces the most NADH? How many?
d. What molecules are needed to produce ATP by oxidative phosphorylation?
2. In a living organism, what happens to ATP production when there is no oxygen available (anaerobic conditions)?
3. What are the characteristics of a dead body?
4. Consider the processes involved in muscle contraction. Summarize in a few sentences the relationship between ATP and muscle contraction.
5. What is rigor mortis? Why does rigor mortis develop? What are the different stages of rigor mortis?
