ATPase enzyme needed for muscle contraction is located in (a) Actinin (b) Troponin (c) Myosin (d) Actin
ATPase enzyme needed for muscle contraction is located in (a) Actinin (b) Troponin (c) Myosin (d) Actin
Answer
ATPase enzymes, which are critical for muscle contraction, are found in myosin, the thick filaments of muscle fibers. They hydrolyze ATP, providing the energy required for the sliding filament mechanism of muscle contraction. Hence, the correct answer is C. Myosin.
