MUSCLE CONTRACTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The energy source that is used to directly power muscle contraction is
A
lactic acid
B
ATP
C
oxygen
D
creatine phosphate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The source of energy that is used to power the movement of contraction in working muscles is adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the body’s biochemical way to store and transport energy. However, ATP is not stored to a great extent in cells. So once muscle contraction starts, the making of more ATP must start quickly.
