Q: Which equation best represents the relationship between ATP production and oxygen availability in skeletal muscle?

$$\text{ATP production} = \text{Glycogen stores} \times \text{Oxygen availability}$$

Q: Which equation best represents the relationship between muscle contraction and calcium release?

$$\text{Muscle contraction} \propto \text{Calcium release from SR}$$
