The immediate reserve that regenerates ATP at the very start of vigorous muscle contraction is

  • A. creatine phosphate
  • B. glycogen only
  • C. lactic acid
  • D. haemoglobin

Explanation

Creatine phosphate donates its phosphate to ADP in a single step, replenishing ATP within seconds before glycogen breakdown catches up. Lactic acid is a product of anaerobic glycolysis, not a fuel reserve.
