Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Muscle tone is a state of slight contraction that requires a small amount of ATP, so statement D is not true. The other statements are true. Muscle tone helps to maintain posture and stabilize joints, and produces body heat through the energy used in the contraction of muscle fibers. It is also dependent upon nerve impulses from the central nervous system.
