Answers:

1. True

2. True

Explanation:

"Muscle hypertrophy" refers to the increase in the size of the muscles. A context clue here is the word "hypertrophy." The prefix "hyper" means "over" or "exaggerated." This is synonymous to the word "growth." Thus, this explains the answer.

Muscle contraction comes in two forms: isotonic and isometric. Isotonic means that the muscle has a sustained tension as it grows or changes. Isometric means that the muscle contracts without any change in its length. So, this makes the statement true.
