Explanation / Answer

Ans 1:

PCr + ADP + H+ = ATP + Cr

Ans 2: oxaloacetate.

When pyruvate enters mitochondria, then the enzyme of mitochondria i.e pyruvate carboxylase acts on pyruvate and converts it into oxaloacetate.

Ans 3: 1 PCr = 1 ATP

1PCr = 1ATP, is not a characteristic of creatine phosphate system because 1PCr results I'm 1ATP.

Ans 4: Aerobic glycolysis and Anaerobic glycolysis.

Ans 5: 2 ATP is produced.

Ans 6: False

ATP is required during muscle contraction and not during relaxation.
