A reserve of high energy phosphate is stored in muscle as
A)phosphocreatine.
B)adenosine triphosphate.
C)glucose 6-phosphate.
D)creatine kinase.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reserve of high energy phosphate is stored in muscle as phosphocreatine. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy currency of the cell, but it is not stored in large amounts. Glucose 6-phosphate is an intermediate in glucose metabolism and not considered a reserve of high energy phosphate. Creatine kinase is an enzyme that is involved in the interconversion of ATP and phosphocreatine.
