MUSCLE FATIGUE HOW DO MUSCLES GET THE ENERGY TO WORK? In muscles‚ it is essential that Calcium is present‚ as this gives the muscles the ability to contract and relax. For muscles to contract energy is needed: the energy can only be provided by the breakdown of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). As ATP is broken down‚ a phosphate molecule is broken off‚ reducing the phosphate molecules‚ from 3 to 2. This produces adenosine triphosphate. However for the muscles contraction to continue

Drones‚ like helicopters‚ fly at altitudes of 400-1000 ft. At these altitudes‚ it is impossible to conduct surveillance efficiently‚ so privacy concerns should not upset a revolutionary technology. Moreover‚ people shouldn’t be worried about surveillance because if one has nothing to hide then he or she has

Max takeoff weight may not be realized taking off from a high-density altitude airfield. 2. To find out how many passengers you can transport‚ you need to know how much fuel you need for the flight. 3. Make sure you don’t exceed the max landing weight. 4. You might have to do some iterative calculations to complete

Contrary to many peoples’ beliefs‚ Dr. Josef Mengele’s cruelty and mutilation to Jews and Romas was necessary. During 1943 and 1945‚ a period already infamous for European mass killing‚ known today as a holocaust‚ and World War II‚ many humans taken prisoner were used as guinea pigs in experiments. One question remains from that time frame: What was Dr. Josef Mengele trying to prove or discover using information from his medical-based experiments? The gruesome knowledge derived from Dr. Josef Mengele’s
