[blank_start]Oxygen[blank_end] is the basis of life; it gives your body life by helping with aerobic respiration and it also bonds with hydrogen to create water. Water is essential; it makes up 60% of the human body. [blank_start]Carbohydrates[blank_end] give you the food to feed your cells; for example, animals use [blank_start]glucose[blank_end] that they get from glycogen. [blank_start]Protiens[blank_end] have many functions; some examples of these functions are assisting molecular transfers, hormones, and muscle contractions. [blank_start]Fats[blank_end] store excess energy that can eventually be used by the body. [blank_start]DNA[blank_end] provides the genetic information for a cell and is located in the nucleus of a cell. [blank_start]ATP[blank_end] provides almost all of the energy for our cells in a rapid manner.

Describe the events involved in a skeletal muscle contraction. You should accurately use the following terms: actin, action potential, calcium, motor neuron, myosin, sarcomere, sarcoplasmic reticulum, sliding, and troponin.
A(n) [blank_start]action potential[blank_end] moves down a [blank_start]motor neuron[blank_end] where Ach is released. This flows through the synapse to the receptors of the muscle fiber, which then allows the [blank_start]calcium ions[blank_end] to be released from the [blank_start]sarcoplasmic reticulum[blank_end] and bind. The [blank_start]actin[blank_end] and [blank_start]myosin[blank_end] of the sarcomere link to the myosin head and moves the muscle fiber into contraction. The [blank_start]sliding[blank_end] movement occurs due to the [blank_start]troponin[blank_end] and tropomyosin allowing binding sites to show.
