Answer:

The correct answer is chemical energy from broken bonds is transformed into mechanical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscle contraction need energy in form of ATP.ATP contain 2 high energized phosphoanhydride bonds.

The hydrolysis of phosphoanhydride bonds releases chemical energy which is transformed into mechanical energy for helping the muscles to move.
