c. fast glycolytic fibers
d. fast oxidative fibers

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle fibers are classified based on "how does it regenerates ATP" and "how fast does it contract compared to others". Compared to the other types of fibers slow oxidative fibers are known to produce low power contraction and these contractions persists over long time periods compared to the fast oxidative and fast glycoltic fiber types.

If given the exact same amount of ATP, slow oxidative fibers would be able to contract for the longest amount of time (Option b).

What is cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration refers to the process by which aerobic cells can obtain ATP by using foods and oxygen.

  • Slow oxidative fibers are muscle fibers that use cellular respiration to produce ATP.

  • Slow oxidative fibers are also called Type I or red fibers and have many mitochondria.

In conclusion, if given the exact same amount of ATP, slow oxidative fibers would be able to contract for the longest amount of time (Option b).
