Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
ATP:
A
attaches to the myosin myofilaments
B
provides energy for the movement of the cross bridges
C
is required for muscle relaxation
D
releases part of its energy as heat
E
Has all of these characteristics
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups. ATP is commonly referred to as the “energy currency” of the cell, as it provides readily releasable energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -The characteristic of an ATP molecule that enables it to perform this task is its structure. An ATP molecule is a nucleoside triphosphate that consists of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups bound one after another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Small-moves easily in, out and around cells. Soluble-most active processes happen in aqueous environments. Intermediate amounts of energy released: enough for cellular reactions, but not so much that it is all wasted as heat. Easily Regenerated-renewable energy source.
