Actinin

B

Troponin

C

Myosin

D

Actin

Answer

Myosin

Explanation

The head of each myosin molecule contains an enzyme myosin ATPase. In the presence of myosin ATPase, Ca2+Ca^{2+} and Mg2+Mg^{2+} ions, ATP breaks down into ADP and inorganic phosphate, releasing energy in the head. ATP>[Myosin AT pase][Ca2+,Mg2+]ADP+Pi+ATP {->[\text{Myosin AT pase}][Ca^{2+}, Mg^{2+}]} ADP + Pi + Energy
