muscle cells are animal tissue and therefore cannot undergo photosynthesis. ATP is created by mitochondria, these mitochondria use an electron transport chain to slowly oxidize glucose. The electron transport chain increases the proton concentration on one side of the membrane. ATP synthase uses this proton gradient to form ATP from ADP. This process is called cellular respiration
