Please help, appreciated if you do :) Which of these accurately describes the change in the muscle cells of a person running a marathon? Decrease in the number of mitochondria Increase in myoglobin Increase in the number of skeletal muscles Decrease in myoglobin
The correct answer would be a Decrease in myoglobin. Myoglobin contains a large amount of oxygen, and desaturates when muscles move. When you run a marathon, your muscles move and thus you have decreased myoglobin.
