The critical event for the contraction of striated muscles would be that calcium ions:

1. are released from troponin C
2. bind to tropomyosin
3. bind to troponin
4. are taken up by the sarcoplasmic reticulum

For the muscular movements to be coordinated, it is important that:
1. the muscle twitches must be of increasing strength.
2. muscle is divided into motor units
3. type I fibers must be more than type II fibers in a muscle
4. the muscle twitches undergo tetanization.

Identify the correct statement regarding the use of ATP in muscle contraction:
1. ATP cannot be directly used for muscle contraction.
2. ATP is not required for muscle relaxation.
3. When ATP is hydrolyzed, the conformation of myosin is changed.
4. Once the cross-bridge is formed, the hydrolysis of ATP initiates the power stroke.
