What enzyme has to be present for acetylcholine to be broken down so that the muscle fiber can relax?

Acetylcholinesterase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft, allowing the muscle fiber to relax. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine into acetate and choline, preventing continuous stimulation of the muscle.


What is the energy molecule that breaks apart in the muscle cell to yield energy?

The energy molecule that breaks apart in a muscle cell to yield energy is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). When ATP is broken down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), energy is released that fuels muscle contraction.
