Question

Which statement correctly explains whether more ATP is found in muscle cells or bone cells?

Answer 1

The statement that correctly explains whether more ATP is found in muscle cells or bone cells is "More ATP is found in muscle cells because they need large amounts of energy to power motion.

Explanation:

The source of energy that is appropriated to power the movement of contraction in acting muscles is adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the body's biochemical way to store and convey energy. However, ATP is not saved to a great extent in cells. So once muscle contraction starts, the generation of more ATP must start quickly.

Answer 2

The statement that correctly explains whether more ATP is found in muscle cells or bone cells is "More ATP is found in muscle cells because they need large amounts of energy to power motion." The correct answer is D.
