Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myoglobin is the oxygen-binding molecule found in skeletal muscle. It has a higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin and helps to store and transport oxygen within the muscle tissue. ATP, myokinase, and creatine phosphate are not oxygen-binding molecules in skeletal muscle. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells, not skeletal muscle.
