Creatine phosphate functions in the muscle cell by ________.
A) forming a temporary chemical compound with myosin
B) forming a chemical compound with actin
C) inducing a conformational change in the myofilaments
D) storing energy that will be transferred to ADP to resynthesize ATP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creatine phosphate serves as a high-energy buffer in muscle cells, donating its phosphate group to ADP to rapidly resynthesize ATP during intense physical activity. This allows for a quick energy source to fuel muscle contractions without relying on other metabolic pathways for ATP production.
