  1. Based on the results of your investigation, what conclusions can you draw about the relationship between a muscle's workload and its threshold of stimulation?
  2. Why would a muscle's threshold of stimulation change as its workload changes?
  3. Which muscles were able to contract under the greatest loads? What does this suggest about the role these muscles play in frog movement?
  4. An experiment to determine which leg muscles of a frog are important for jumping long distances
