Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cross bridges happen when an ATP at the myosin head is hydrolyzed to ADP and Phosphate.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Myosin reactivation occurs when the free myosin head splits ATP into ADP and P. The energy released is used to recock the myosin head.

Detailed explanation-2: -After myosin changes its shape, ATP binds to the myosin head. That binding of ATP to myosin releases the myosin from actin, and that changes the cross-bridge to its detached state.
