The Sarcoplasm of a muscle fiber is comparable to the cytoplasm of other cells, but it houses unusually large amounts of glycosomes (granules of stored glycogen) and significant amounts of myoglobin, an oxygen binding protein.1

Organelle storing calicium in resting skeletal muscle fibers?
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). It releases Ca2+ During contraction, and stores it during relaxation.
What are the Skeletal muscle cells that function in calcium storage?
in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of a muscle fiber/cell.
Is the concentration of calcium ion greater in the sarcoplasmic reticulum or sarcoplasm of a resting muscle?
The Ca2+ ion concentration of the sarcoplasmic reticulum will be greater in a resting muscle
Where is calcium stored in the muscle cell?
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is known for its storage of calcium ions in muscle cells.
What does the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum release?
Calcim
Where is calcium stored in the contractile cells?
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
What is in the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle?
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a special type of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. It releases calcium ions during muscle contraction and absorbs them during relaxation.
What are the Less developed Organelles in cardiac muscles?
sarcoplasmic reticulum
Which organelle contains calcium in muscle cells?
sarcoplasmic reticulum
When a muscle is relaxed calcium levels are high in?
sarcoplasmic reticulum
Which ion is stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
Calcium (Ca+2)
What structure of skeletal muscle functions stores calcium?
sarcoplasmic reticulum
