Why does skeletal muscle require more ATP than many other tissues in the body?
1 both contraction and relaxation require ATP to occur
2 the sarcoplasmic reticulum uses ATP to pump calcium ions back into the terminal cisterns after contraction
3 ATP is needed to convert creatine into creatine phosphate needed to provide energy at the beginning of muscle contraction
