Electrical excitation in a muscle fibre most directly causes:

(1) Movement of tropomyosin

(2) Attachment of the cross bridges to actin

(3) Release of Ca⁺² from sarcoplasmic reticulum

(4) Splitting of ATP

The energy for muscle contraction is most directly obtained from:

(1) Phosphocreatine                          

(2) ATP

(3) Anaerobic respiration                   

(4) Aerobic respiration
