Asked by CHRIS
Which statement correctly explains whether more ATP is found in muscle cells or bone cells?
More ATP is found in muscle cells because they use energy less efficiently than bone cells.
More ATP is found in bone cells because they grow more and need energy from ATP.
More ATP is found in bone cells because they need large amounts of energy to produce marrow.
More ATP is found in muscle cells because they need large amounts of energy to power motion.

More ATP is found in muscle cells because they need large amounts of energy to power motion.
Reason: Muscle contraction requires continuous ATP for myosin–actin cross-bridge cycling and ion pumping, so muscle fibers have many mitochondria and high ATP production/consumption compared with relatively low-energy bone cells.
