Answer:

Please find the explanation to this question below

Explanation:

The ATP cycle is the series of reactions involving glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation that produces/synthesizes ATP in living cells. These processes collectively is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. Glycolysis produces 2ATP molecules, Krebs cycle produces 2ATP while the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation) produces 34ATP molecules.

This cycle of ATP as explained above is an important frequent event in cells because all organisms need energy to carry out their metabolic activities. ATP is the energy-carrying molecule that stores and releases energy for use by the cells, hence, it needs to be produced on a frequent basis.

ATP can be likened to a charged battery ready to release its stored energy. The energy is stored in the phosphate bonds that makes up its structure. When ATP releases its energy, it becomes ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). However, ADP is a reactant in the ATP cycle, which is phosphorylated with an inorganic phosphate (Pi) and catalyzes by ATP synthase to form ATP.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Three types of muscles are the cardiac muscles, smooth muscles, and the skeletal.

an example of a cardiac muscle muscles that contract the heart to pump blood. this heart muscle is a striped muscle in the walls of the heart. it is involuntary meaning a person cannot control it consciously.

an example of a smooth muscle is muscle tissue which is used by various systems to apply pressure to vessels and organs. this muscle is also involuntary and are usually in sheets or layers. your brain and body tell these muscles what to do without you even thinking about it.

an example of skeletal muscle are your biceps, deltoids, or even pectoralis. this muscle is called striated, meaning long or streak like, because the light and dark parts of the muscle fibers make them look striped(striated). these muscles are voluntary, which means they can control what you do.
