    The process, once ingested, creatine is converted into phosphocreatine via a creatine kinase reaction. The newly created phosphocreatine donates phosphate to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to resynthesizes adenosine triphosphate (Mangus & Miller 28). The ability to have phosphocreatine is vitally important because it is considered the limiting factor in the energy level your body produces as it works in short and long-term intervals that creates muscle growth and the ability to do your playing or training at the highest levels. There are downsides to every substance, and like any other, creatine has its negative aspects. For some people, weight gain would be negative, and for others, it may be a positive. Creatine is most well known to add weight to your body, and the effect depends on what you want to do while taking creatine; this could be a negative side effect. Along with weight gain that may or may not beneficial for the…

    Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleic acid present in organisms with the primary function of providing energy. It is comprised of three phosphate groups with one adenosine attached and releases energy by being hydrolysed into Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP), therefore one bond is broken and a phosphate molecule is lost. ATP can only be reproduced through phosphorylation which results in the addition of one phosphate to Adenosine Diphosphate. ATP must be regenerated in order to allow an organism…

    Describe, briefly two cellular reactions that involve ATP hydrolysis (you will probably find the answer more quickly on Google than in your book). ATP is simply a renewable resource which is actually rejuvenated when adenosine diphosphate is mixed with a phosphate group. On the other hand, ATP hydrolysis is basically a method used by the human body to be able to release energy chemically to some other body parts in order for life to be sustained. In the process, ATP is actually converted…

    The cellular respiration is when it process to break down the glucose and other food molecules then it is presence of the oxygen which make and release the energy to the cell. The cellular respiration take place in the mitochondria. The energy that is stored in the cellular respiration is when the body have a bond between the second and the third phosphate, which is in the group of the ATP. As the cellular respiration has an electron from the organic compound the glucose and the used energy can…

    MIMICS OF DIPHOSPHATES Phosphate group: Phosphate is an inorganic salt of phosphoric acid or organophosphate is an ester of phosphoric acid. Organophosphate are important in ecology and biochemistry. Inorganic phosphates are used in industry and agriculture. Phosphates can condense to form pyrophosphates, at elevated temperature in solid state. Structure and chemical properties of phosphate group: The polyatomic phosphate ion consist of one phosphorous atom surrounded by four oxygen atom…

    which is known as the crossbridge. At first, this crossbridge is extended with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) attached to the myosin. When the crossbridge is formed, the myosin head bends, thus generating force and sliding the actin filament past the myosin. This is known as the power stroke in which myosin releases ADP and Pi. After they have been released, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule attaches to the myosin. The myosin discharges the actin molecule when the…

    Ladies, hope we have moved on from the paradigm of “lifting weight will make me manly” thing. For those who are new to this reality and are taking this as a shocker, it’s NOT. I have been lifting heavy for the past six months. Anyways, sticking to what we are here to discuss. Creatine. Ask your gym instructor or dietician on what Creatine does, and I bet the response would be it retains water in muscle and make you look bulky OR it gives you bigger muscle OR (to make it more irritating) they…

    in performance and yet no major harmful effects have been recorded even when taken in large doses. However, there is a concern with the possible effect on renal function, particularly in individuals with impaired renal capacity. Its use as a performance aid started booming after the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona when some athletes in track and field claimed creatine helped their performance. To understand the function of creatine and how it works requires basic knowledge of biochemistry.…

    Then, another coenzyme called cytochrome complex (Cyt C) will deliver the electron to complex IV. This series of compounds that transfer electrons is called electron transport chain. When the electron reached the complex IV, electron will be released so other electrons can go through and will be obtained by oxygen (O2) to form into water (H2O). Oxygen also called terminal electron acceptor is necessary to remove electrons so other electrons can go through and to pump out protons (H+) for…

    AGAT (Wyss and Kaddurah-Daouk, 2000). Other biological factors found to impact synthesis are thyroid hormone levels, growth hormone concentration, testosterone level, and dietary deficiency or adaptation (Fasting) (Volek and Kramer, 1997). 2.3 Creatine Function Viably the most regarded function of creatine is its role in anaerobic energy production, regulating cellular levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the muscle. In principle, ATP is the body’s molecular unit of currency facilitating…
