Calcium is important in skeletal muscle contraction because it
1. | Detaches the myosin head from the actin filament |
2. | Activates the myosin ATPase by binding on it |
3. | Binds to troponin to remove the masking of active sites on actin for myosin |
4. | Prevents the formation of bonds between the myosin cross bridges and the actin filament |
The source of energy that can be directly used by muscle for contraction is:
1. GTP
2. ATP
3. Creatine phosphate
4. Glucose

ATPase activity is found in:
