Question

atp is required to cause the power stroke in the myosin head. true false

Explanation:

The power stroke in the myosin head occurs when ADP and inorganic phosphate are released from the myosin head after binding to actin. ATP is not directly required for the power stroke itself. Instead, ATP is needed for the detachment of the myosin head from actin (when ATP binds to myosin, it causes myosin to release actin) and for the re - cocking of the myosin head (hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate provides the energy for the myosin head to return to its high - energy configuration).

Answer:

False
