Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) was a German mystic who practiced a "science" that combined alchemy, magic, mysticism, and astrology. Two of his books are Three Books of Occult Philosophy and On Calling Spirits. Through the writing of Agrippa, Frankenstein becomes very interested in alchemy, which is a pseudoscience whose main object is to find a way of turning base metals into gold. You could say that Frankenstein adapted the thinking of the alchemists and instead of transforming other metals into gold attempted to transform a corpse into a living being.
An interesting story about Agrippa concerns sightings of him after his death:
There were rumors that Agrippa had summoned demons on his death bed, and that a black dog roamed the countryside as his familiar. The black dog appears in tales as Faustus, Mephistopheles, and even as a grim in the Harry Potter series.

Hope this helps
Answer:
The energy used for muscular cont ration is ATP(adenosine triphosphate) This is the energy currency produced in the mitochondrial during cellular respiration.
During muscles contraction.The ATPs is broken down to ADP and Pi.
This is the breakdown of energy rich bonds binding phosphate ions with ATP.The breakdown of the bonds produced -32kJper the 3 bonds in ATP. Therefore as each bond is broken, energy is produced for muscle contraction
It is an exergonic reaction with production of heat.
Thus ATP is used for muscle contraction.ADP is the intermediate of ATP when one Phosphate is removed during the breakdown.
Thus the sequence is Adenosine triphosphate (3 phosphate) to Adenosine diphosphate(2 phosphate) to Adenosine monophosphate (1 phosphate)
Each bond breakin gives equal energy of -32kJpermol.
