Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction for conversion of creatine phosphate to creatine has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
1. Nitrogen-containing base
2. Pentose sugar
3. Phosphate group
Examples of nucleosides are GTP and ATP. Nucleotide on hydrolysis releases energy by cleavage of phosphoanhydride bond. The reaction of hydrolysis of ATP is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether energy is released or absorbed in formation of creatine by creatine phosphate has to be determined.
