Imagining creatine phosphate and glycerol-3-phosphate as energy carriers
Imagine that creatine phosphate, rather than ATP, is the universal energy carrier molecule in the human body. Repeat the calculation presented in section 3.8, calculating the weight of creatine phosphate that would need to be consumed each day by a typical adult human if creatine phosphate could not be recycled. If recycling of creatine phosphate were possible, and if the typical adult human body contained 20 grams of creatine phosphate, how many times would each creatine phosphate molecule need to be turned over or recycled each day? Repeat the calculation assuming that glycerol-3-phosphate is the universal energy carrier, and that the body contains 20 grams of glycerol-3-phosphate.
