Yes, ATP is the primary energy source for muscle contraction. During intense exercise, ATP stored within the muscle cells is rapidly depleted and must be regenerated through metabolic pathways to sustain muscle contractions.
Doubtful. One would think that any glycogen stored in muscle cells would be producing mitochondrial ATP for use in the sarcomere, the muscle contraction unit.
In muscle cells, chemical energy stored in ATP molecules is converted into mechanical energy during muscle contraction. This process involves the hydrolysis of ATP to release energy that powers the interactions between proteins within muscle cells, leading to muscle movement.
Energy is supplied to muscles for contraction by means of adenosine triphosphate being stored in muscle fibers. These are stored from creatine phosphate, enough to power muscle contractions for a few seconds.
Both muscle relaxation and muscle contraction require ATP.
Skeletal muscle is rich in ATP as it is the primary energy source for muscle contraction and movement. Skeletal muscle has high energy demands and relies on ATP for fuel during exercise and physical activity.
Energy produced in mitochondria is stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This molecule acts as the primary energy carrier in cells, delivering energy for cellular processes.
Cells use the energy stored in ATP for mechanical work, such as muscle contractions and cell movements. They also use ATP for active transport processes, like pumping ions across cell membranes against their concentration gradients.
Three cellular activities that use the energy stored in ATP are muscle contraction, active transport of molecules across cell membranes, and cell division. ATP is the primary energy currency of the cell and is used to power multiple cellular processes.
Respiration should take place. There energy of food is stored in ATP
If muscle contractions use ATP at or below the maximum rate of ATP generation by mitochondria, the muscle fiber will be able to sustain the contraction for a longer period without fatigue, as the ATP production can meet the energy demands of the muscle activity.
Muscle requires a lot of ATP , mitochondria produces ATP
