The concentration of ATP in the muscle cells of some animals is found to remain relatively constant during peroids when the muscles are contracting or at rest. This is because?

The high free engery change for the hydrolysis of a thiol ester, as found in acetyl-CoA, as compared to that for the hydrolysis of a simple ester, is partly due to:
a. The greater resonance stability in a simple ester due to a better p-electron overlap in a CO linkage than in a CS linkage
b. The gain in resonance engery in the product, acetate
c. The high value for the bond engery in the (S-C) bond
d. Reduction of the unfavorable electrostatic interactions in the acetyl-CoA
