Final answer:

Myosin heads reset their position using energy from ATP hydrolysis for muscle contraction and relaxation cycles.


Explanation:

Myosin heads reset their position to 90 degrees by using energy derived from ATP hydrolysis. When ATP binds to myosin, it gets converted to ADP and inorganic phosphate, providing the energy needed to change the myosin head angle to a 'cocked' position, ready for movement and potential energy storage.

The myosin heads detach from actin due to ATP binding, allowing for muscle contraction and relaxation cycles. The repeated binding and hydrolysis of ATP is crucial for the continuous cycling of myosin heads, enabling muscle contraction and relaxation through the power stroke mechanism.
