Rigor mortis (the stiffening of muscles fibers several hours after death) is directly due to the depletion of what energy source? This energy molecule is used to power a calcium pump that transports Ca2+ ions back into the endoplasmic reticulum where calcium ions are already at a high concentration.

Ca2+-ATPases are integral membrane proteins. They are active transport mechanisms that use the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to pump calcium ions across the membrane. A specific form of Ca2+-ATPase, ERCA, is located on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. In which direction does ERCA transport calcium ions? a.) ERCA transports calcium ions from the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm. b.) ERCA transports calcium ions from the cytoplasm into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.
