    Muscular System: Muscle Metabolism 1. List the three roles of ATP in muscle contraction: 1. _Energize the power stroke of the myosin cross bridge. 2. _Disconnecting the myosin head from the binding site on actin at the conclusion of a power stroke. 3. _Energizing the calcium ion pump. 2. The potential energy in ATP is released when the terminal high-energy bond is broken by a process called hydrolysis. Write the end products of this process: ATP (+ H2O) (
