When two amino acids are joined, a peptide bond is formed and an H+ ion is released. False
Meiosis is called “reduction division” because the number of chromosomes is reduced by half.
Facilitated diffusion is not an active transport process because it does not depend on cell energy.

As the activity of osteoblasts increases, the: Both B and C occur. amount of calcium in bone increases. level of calcium in the blood decreases.
The minimal level of stimulation required to cause a fiber to contract is called the threshold stimulus.
Anaerobic respiration results in the formation of an incompletely catabolized molecule called lactate .

The substance that attracts oxygen in the myoglobin molecule is: Iron
Which of the following statements is incorrect about motor units? The more muscle fibers stimulated by a motor neuron, the more precise the movements of that muscle can be.
All of the following are noninflammatory joint disorders except: juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
The strength of a muscle contraction is influenced by the: amount of load. initial length of muscle fibers. recruitment of motor units. All of the above are correct.
Most body movements are _____ contractions. isotonic
Painful muscle contractions or involuntary twitches are called: cramps
