The transfer of phosphate from CP to ADP is catalyzed by __________.
A) myokinase
B) creatinine
C) cAMP
D) creatine kinase
E) ATP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transfer of phosphate from creatine phosphate (CP) to ADP is catalyzed by creatine kinase (also called creatine phosphokinase). Myokinase (choice A) catalyzes the transfer of phosphate between two ADP molecules. Creatinine (choice B) is a waste product of creatine metabolism and is not involved in ATP synthesis. cAMP (choice C) is a secondary messenger molecule and is not directly involved in ATP synthesis. ATP (choice E) is the end product of ATP synthesis, not a catalyst for the process.
