20. Tension is the pull or active force on a muscle tendon.  It results from? a.    sarcomeres making up muscle fibers becoming shorter during contractionb.    thick and thin filaments becoming longer during contractionc.    overcoming resistance of gravity and prevention of bone movementd.    tendons becoming shorter during contractione.    shortening of the overall muscle fiber thus pulling on tendons attached to bones

17. Botulism toxin is a weapon of mass destruction that prevents release of acetylcholine at the        synaptic terminal  MNJ.  How does this toxin affect muscular activity? a.    causes spastic paralysis due to continuous stimulation of muscleb.    it has no effect on muscle contractionc.    causes spastic paralysis due to continuous relaxation of muscled.    causes flaccid paralysis due to inability of muscle to contracte.    causes an continuous release of ACH at the MNJ

19. Duration of muscle contraction depends on all the following, EXCEPT?       Which item below does not occur in muscle contraction? a.    stimulation by an action potential (“nerve impulse”) at MNJ by ACHb.    the amount  of calcium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulumc.    availability of ATP to break cross-bridgesd.    availability of cholinesterase to neutralize ACH and stop the process at the MNJe.    the amount of sodium released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

A retailer marks down a customary price (i.e., the price consumers are accustomed to paying) of a popular item (e.g a bread, washing liquid or some veggies)  in an attempt to attract more customers. The company earns a much smaller profit on each unit because the markup is lower, but purchases of other merchandise by customers while seeking the leader item often boost sales and profits.  This pricing strategy is called
