Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What combination of chemicals are essential for a muscle contraction?
A
Potassium, Adenosine diphosphate, Phosphorous
B
Sodium, Potassium, Glucose
C
Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorous
D
Calcium, Adenosine triphosphate, Sodium
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the sole fuel for muscle contraction. During near maximal intense exercise the muscle store of ATP will be depleted in < 1s, therefore, to maintain normal contractile function ATP must be continually resynthesized.
