Answer:
Skeletal muscle stores glycogen because it is a heavy consumer of energy.
Explanation:
Skeletal fiber contractions are based on different physiological and biochemical phenomena that happen in every cell and that need an amount of energy to occur. During muscle contraction, <em>myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, producing littles power strokes that, continuously, lead to muscle contraction</em>. To make this process possible, the muscle needs energy.
Glycogen is a very important energetic reserve polysaccharide for animals. It is stored in the liver and muscles, and when the organism needs energy it degrades glycogen into glucose, which is an available form for the metabolism. In the liver,<em> glycogen</em> is used to maintain constant levels of <em>blood glucose</em>. While in muscles, glycogen plays an important role in the glucose storage as a source of energy, needed and used only for contraction.
During muscle contraction, ATP molecules obtained from glucose are split to ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Answer:

Explanation:
The events of muscle contraction begins from the presynaptic neuron, which cause the influx of Ca+, and the release of acetycholine neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
The Ach, binds with the receptors in the sarcolemma, leading to opening of Ligand gated Na+ channels. Therefore Na+diffuses in, causing depolarization, and propagation of action potential along the sarcolemma spreading to the T-tubules.
This is followed by opening of Calcium channels leading exist of Ca+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The Calcium binds with the troponin, and Tropomysoin exposed the myosin binding sites on the actin filament.Thus cross-bridge is formed by the myosin head with thin filaments which shortened the sarcomere, leading to contraction of muscle fibres.
