Creatine Phosphate Supplies energy to regenerate ATP from ADP and phosphate.
Creatine phosphate supplying energy to regenerate ATP from ADP and phosphate.
Creatine phosphate and ATP are both sources of energy for the muscles. Creatine phosphate is found in vertebrate muscle, while ATP can be found anywhere within the cell.
Creatine Phosphate cannot directly supply energy to a cell, instead, it stores energy released from mitochondria. Whenever sufficient ATP is present, an enzyme in the mitochondria (creatine phosphokinase) promotes the synthesis of creating phosphate, which stores excess energy in its phosphate bond.
Supply energy for the change of ATP to ADP
Creatine's main benefit is its ability to aid in the production of energy. When ATP (adenosine triphosphate) loses one of its phosphate molecules and becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate), it must be converted back to ATP in order for the molecule to be able to produce energy again. The creatine in our body is mostly stored as creatine phosphate (known as phosphocreatine), and it will donate its phosphate to the ADP which renews the ATP molecule and it can now produce energy.
Creatine phosphate is used in explosive muscular movements such as sprinting or weight training. There has been no evidence to show that creatine phosphate is used in endurance training

Transfer of energy to make ATP
Creatine phosphate functions in the muscle cell by storing energy that will be transferred to ADP to resynthesize ATP.
To give your body an imediate, explosive supply of energy. it is stored in your muscles as creatine phosphate, that converts to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is a chemical that provides energy for all bodily prossesses. depletion of creatine phosphate causes fatigue.
