<h2>Answer:</h2>

Antagonistic.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Muscles generally work in groups or pairs.
Muscles are connected to bones via tendons, these tendons and muscles help in movement of a joint.
When a muscle is put in contraction, usually only one bone moves. For example on contraction of biceps of the arm contracts then the radius moves but the scapula does not move.
This type of muscle action is called antagonistic muscle action. In which the muscle which is working is called the prime mover or agonist and the relaxing muscle is called the antagonist.

Result: The muscle action in which a muscle works against another muscle is called antagonistic.

<u>Answer:</u> Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The series of metabolic reactions and mechanism take place in organism ranging from microscopic bacteria to large organisms cells in order to transfer biochemical energy from food nutrients (stored in glucose form which is transferred) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and then waste product is also released, the whole process is known as "cellular respiration".

The energy required for ATP synthesis extracted from the breakdown of foods and phosphocreatine (creatine phosphate). It is stored inside muscle cells because phosphocreatine is readily available to produce ATP quickly.
