ATP (adenosine triphosphate) carries energy to all living cells, including muscle cells. When you work out (or use your muscles), the muscle cells take up ATP and through a complicated biochemical process, they extract energy from it, and return it to other cells to replenish it. The amount of ATP is regulated by your body automatically, and is fairly constant.
What else can I help you with?
During a race how do your muscles produce ATP after the store of ATP in muscles is used?
muscle cells produce ATP by cellular respiration through fermentation
What is the byproduct of ATP and is it bad for muscles?
The byproduct of ATP when it makes muscles work is ADP and energy. They are not harmful in anyway.
How many muscles does ATP have?
The acronym ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, which is a chemical; chemicals do not have muscles, the just have atoms.
Where do cardiac muscles produce ATP?
Cellular respiration
What does ATP send to muscles?
tell's them what to do
ATP is used by the body as?
ATP is used by the body as a source of energy for the muscles.
Where does your hamstring attach in relation to your leg muscles?
The hamstring attaches to the back of the thigh, above the knee, in relation to the leg muscles.
Why do muscles contain many mioochondria?
Muscles need ATP to contract. Mitochondria produce most of the ATP in the cell, so there are lots of mitochondria in muscle.
Why is atp important in muscles?
ATP is important in muscles because it is the primary source of energy used for muscle contractions. When a muscle contracts, ATP is broken down to release energy that powers the movement. Without an adequate supply of ATP, muscles would not be able to contract effectively.
Why does muscles have the most mitochondria in it?
Muscles are metabolically active. Contractions of muscles cost ATP. So there are many mitochondria
Why can't ATP stored in muscles?
it is too unstable
How does energy get converted from food molecules to muscles?
When we eat food, our body breaks down the molecules through digestion to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Muscles use ATP as a source of energy to contract and carry out their functions. The process by which ATP is produced and utilized in muscles is called cellular respiration.
