Hypothetically, if a muscle were stretched to the point where thick and thin filaments no longer overlapped, ________.
A. maximum force production would result because the muscle has a maximum range of travel
B. ATP consumption would increase because the sarcomere is “trying” to contract
C. no muscle tension could be generated
D. cross bridge attachment would be optimum because of all the free binding sites on actin
