Why do muscles require more energy even if they are not very active in the moment?

Biology
1 answer:
Elenna [48]3 years ago
7 0
Answer; 
ATP is needed to relax the muscles;

Muscles require more energy even if they are not very active in the moment because ATP or energy is needed for their relaxation.

Explanation;
Relaxation of muscles takes place when the stimulation of nerves stops. Calcium is then taken back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum breaking the link between actin and myosin. Actin and myosin return to their unbound state causing the muscle to relax. ATP is involved in displacing actin from myosin head. Therefore; ATP is required for muscle relaxation.

antiseptic1488 [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

C: Lactic acid fermentation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Cellular respiration without oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. ETS (or electron transport chain) reactions happen as the last step of aerobic cellular respiration, therefore it is incorrect.

Lactic acid fermentation is a metabolic process by which glucose and other six-carbon sugars are converted into cellular energy and the metabolite lactate, which is lactic acid in solution. It is an anaerobic fermentation reaction.
