The relaxation of skeletal muscle requires ATP.
True
False
Answer :- True
Explanation :- The events in skeletal muscle contraction and relaxation depend on ATP in this three process .
•Hydrolysis of ATP by myosin energizes the cross-bridges,
providing the energy for generation of force.
••Binding of ATP to myosin dissociates cross-bridges bound to
actin, allowing the bridges to repeat their cycle of
activity.
•••Hydrolysis of ATP by the Ca2+-ATPase in the sarcoplasmic
reticulum provides the energy for the active transport of calcium
ions into the lateral sacs of the reticulum, lowering cytosolic
Ca2+ to pre-release levels, which ends the contraction and allows
the muscle fiber to relax.....
