Solution

The correct option is A True
  • The muscle contraction cycle is triggered by calcium ions binding to the protein complex troponin, exposing the active-binding sites on the actin.
  • ATP then binds to myosin, moving the myosin to its high-energy state, releasing the myosin head from the actin active site.
So, the correct option is 'True'.
