Some people take creatine as a bodybuilding supplement. Describe the action of creatine in cells and why physicians do not recommend this supplement
What will be an ideal response?
During a short burst of explosive action, stored ATP is used first in muscle cells. After this supply is exhausted, creatine phosphate can donate its phosphate group to ADP to make more ATP. Some individuals take creatine phosphate to increase this store, which can lead to a quick boost of ATP. There have been no long-term studies on the safety of creatine supplements, plus the cells can only store a limited amount of creatine.
