Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Creatine Phosphate:
A
is produced by the process of anaerobic respiration.
B
can replace ATP in binding myosin molecules during contraction.
C
acts as an energy reserve in muscle tissue.
D
is only formed during strenuous exercise.
E
All of these are correct.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So all muscle cells contain a high-energy compound called creatine phosphate which is broken down to make more ATP quickly. Creatine phosphate can supply the energy needs of a working muscle at a very high rate, but only for about 8–10 seconds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Creatine and its phosphorylated form N-phosphocreatine act as a dynamic reservoir of high-energy phosphate. This reservoir maintains the ATP/ADP ratio, storing high energy phosphate for the replenishment of ATP during periods of high, or fluctuating energy demand in cells and tissues.
