Chapter 23.3, Problem 23.5P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Energy change in the hydrolysis of creatine phosphate to creatine and the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP needs to be calculated. Whether it is energy released or required in this reaction needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Creatine phosphate is a phosphorylated creatine molecule synthesized in the body from the amino acid guanine. Creatine phosphate is an energy storage molecule in muscles that can release high energy and produce ATP.

  $\text{Creatine phosphate + ADP }\to \text{ ATP + Creatine }$
