|
What must be present in the cell for muscle contraction to take place?
|
Calcium and chemical energy (ATP). Calcium is common in certain foods. ATP is a high-energy molecule that is continuously regenerated in the body from the chemical energy contained in certain nutrients (e.g., carbohydrate, fat, and protein).
