Summary Introduction

To determine: The name of two muscle compounds that store energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds.

Introduction: The contraction of skeletal muscles results in the movement of body parts. The energy is required in the movement of muscles. The basic unit of muscle contraction is known as sarcomere, which is formed by the multiple repeating units of actin and myosin filaments.

Explanation of Solution

The main objective of muscles is to support the locomotion or movement of an organism. The muscle fibers collectively form the “muscular system.” The system fulfills the essential requirements which are required for the mechanical forces and generates the motion necessary for the motility of the organism. The two muscle compounds that store energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds are phosphocreatine and ATP.

Conclusion

The two muscle compounds that store energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds are ATP and phosphocreatine.
