"Which statement is true regarding slow oxidative muscle fibers?"

A. They can contract only for short periods of time.
B. They fatigue quickly.
C. They contain lots of myoglobin.
D. They appear white in color within a specimen.



Answer :

Final answer:

Slow oxidative muscle fibers are not quick to fatigue; they are well-known for their endurance due to their metabolic properties and myoglobin content.


Explanation:

Slow oxidative muscle fibers, also known as Type I or slow-twitch muscle fibers, do not fatigue quickly; in fact, they are more fatigue resistant due to their aerobic metabolism capabilities, large number of mitochondria, and myoglobin content. These fibers are red in color because they are rich in myoglobin that aids in storing oxygen for prolonged activity.
