ATP breaks down when a muscle cell demands energy to perform its work of contraction. ATP, which is a nucleoside triphosphate, stands for adenosine triphosphate.

What happens to ATP when a muscle cell demands energy to contract?
ATP is hydrolyzed and turned into ADP
When a muscle cell demands energy to contract what happens to ATP?
ATP is hydrolyzed and turned into ADP
How does gravitational contraction generate energy?
Obviously no new energy is created - the Law of Conservation of Energy is still valid. What happens is that potential energy is converted into some other kind of energy, especially heat.
What happens to the energy from fuel that is not used to perform work?
Most of it is converted to heat, but the remainder is wasted.
Why is a rich blood supply important to muscle contraction?
For muscles to contract there needs to be an adequate supply of ATP within the cell. ATP is generated in part by a supply of glucose and oxidative phosphorylation. An inadequate supply of blood will not provide enough oxygen to keep up with the energy demands of contraction.
What is a unit of measurement that refers to the relative energy demands of an activity to comparison to your energy demands in a resting state is known as a?
A unit of measurement that refers to the relative energy demands of an activity in comparison to your energy demands in a resting state is known as MET. MET (Metabolic Equivalent) is defined as the ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate.
How do isotonic and isometric contraction differ?
In isotonic energy, 70% of the energy exerted is given off as heat energy. In isometric contraction, only 30% of the energy given off is exerted as heat energy.
Is it true or false that during isometric contraction the energy used appears as movement?
during isometric contraction, the energy used appears as movement
Why is atp important in muscles?
ATP is important in muscle contraction. ATP is high energy bond which gives you energy required for muscle contraction.
Where is the mitochondria in your body?
It demands energy from ATP, which in turn creates energy for your body.
What functions do carbohydrates perform?
Carbohydrates provide the body with energy for working muscles, provide fuel for the central nervous system, enable fat metabolism, and prevent protein from being used as energy. Carbohydrates are the preferred source of energy or fuel for muscle contraction and biologic work.
In muscles chemical energy changes to what during contraction?
Muscles turn chemical energy into heat and work during contraction. Straight from the science book.
