2
Q
What role does creatine play in skeletal muscle metabolism?
A
It resynthesis ATP during strenuous exercise, buffers lactic acid, and stimulates protein synthesis and increasing muscle mass

A
The amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine
4
Q
What is the difference between glycogenolysis in skeletal muscle and the Liver?
A
Skeletal muscle lacks the enzyme needed to dephosphorylate glucose
5
Q
How does skeletal muscle’s lack of enzyme needed to dephosphorylate glucose effect the process?
A
Glucose is only partly oxidized into pyruvic or lactic acid
6
Q
What happens to that lactic or pyruvic acid?
A
