Question
Imagine that a muscles ATP supply and creatine phosphate supply were completely depleted. What would be the effect?Cross bridges could not form. Myosin could not bind to actin. Myosin could not release from actin. Actin could not slide past myosin. Imagine that a muscles ATP supply and creatine phosphate supply were completely depleted. What would be the effect?

Cross bridges could not form. Myosin could not bind to actin. Myosin could not release from actin. Actin could not slide past myosin.
Explanation / Answer
ATP and creatine levels provide energy for contraction of muscles.As these provide energy
for contraction of muscles, active muscles rapidly gets depleted out of both ATP and creatine phosphate.
When no energy molecules are present, the myosin will not be able to get released from actin and muscle contraction do not occur.
hence option c is correct answer.
