Answer:

A. It loses an electron

Explanation:

An atom becomes a positive ion when it loses an electron (then there are more protons than electrons in the atom) when it is trying to reach stability. This is called a Cation. The opposite of this is an Anion, when an atom gains an electron to reach stability and becomes a negative ion (because the number of electrons are higher than the number of protons).

Because skeletal muscle contractions demand large quantities of atp, skeletal muscles have
zheka24 [161]
Skeletal muscle contractions do in fact demand large quantities of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the universal source of cellular energy. In order to accommodate this necessity, skeletal muscle cells (myocytes) are packed with mitochondria, which are the energy powerhouses of the cell.
However, the production of ATP would halt in mitochondria if the necessary substrates (fuels) are not present to enter these organelles, mainly glucose and oxygen (O2). So, additionally, skeletal muscle is also loaded with glycogen, a storage form for glucose (as starch), and myoglobin, an enzyme similar to hemoglobin in that it binds an O2 to hold it for use during contraction.
