Question 1

What is the primary function of myosin in muscle contraction?

  • To pull actin filaments
  • To provide strength
  • To store energy

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about which filament generates the pulling force.

Question 2

Muscle contractions cease without ATP.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what happens to energy in muscle fibers.
