(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction for conversion of creatine phosphate to creatine has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Nucleotide is defined as basic unit for formation of nucleic acid that is essential for completion of metabolic reactions in body. The three basic components of nucleotide are as follows:

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:

  ATP+H2OADP+Pi+energy

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether energy is released or absorbed in formation of creatine by creatine phosphate has to be determined.
