If You Test the Maximal Tension a Person Can Exert

question 205

Multiple Choice

If you test the maximal tension a person can exert in her skeletal muscles at 35°C, it will be close to what she can exert at 25°C.But if she falls into icy water that is about 15°C, her ability to exert maximal tension in her skeletal muscles decreases sharply to about 30% of what she can exert at 25°C.From these data, you can conclude that the Q₁₀ value of exerting maximal tension in humans

• A) is the same across temperatures from 15°C to 35°C.
• B) is approximately 1 between 15°C and 25°C.
• C) is less than 1 between 15°C and 25°C.
• D) is more than 1 between 15°C and 25°C.
• E) is approximately 2 between 25°C and 35°C.
