You wish to inhibit the contraction of muscle in vitro as a control for an experiment you are conducting.To do this,which of the following would you use?
A)dyneinase
B)ATPase inhibitors
C)mysoinase II
D)contractionase
E)serotonin

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATPase inhibitors can inhibit the contraction of muscles by preventing the hydrolysis of ATP, which is necessary for muscle contraction to occur. This would serve as a control to ensure that any observed changes in muscle contraction are specific to the treatment being studied and not a result of baseline muscle activity. Dyneinase, myosinase II, and contractionase are not actual enzymes and do not exist in the context of muscle physiology. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that can contribute to muscle contraction but is not a reliable control for inhibiting muscle contractions.
