Question

1: Diagram using terms and arrows (not chemical structures) how the phosphagen system produces energy (ATP). In your diagram, include the substrates (reactants), enzyme, and products of the chemical reaction.

2: Where in the muscle fiber does this reaction take place?

Answer 1

ATP is the form by which our body store biochemicals and utilises energy.Three energy system in muscles to replenish the utilised ATP includes.

1)Phosphagen system

2)Glycolysis

3)Oxidative reaction

Phosphagen System

The muscle replenish the ATP levels quickly, using a high-energy phosphate compound called creatine phosphate.An enzyme, creatine kinase removes the phosphate group from creatine phosphate and transfers it to ADP to form ATP.

First ATP converted to ADP and the phosphagen convert it back to the ATP.
