Which of the following is NOT true of slow oxidative/Type I red muscle fibers?
A)small diameter
B)high resistance to fatigue
C)high amount of myosin ATPase present
D)slow twitch rate

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slow oxidative/Type I red muscle fibers have a low amount of myosin ATPase, which is more characteristic of fast glycolytic/Type IIb fibers. This enzyme is crucial for the speed of ATP breakdown, and its lower presence in Type I fibers contributes to their slower contraction speed.
