A compound which is made by the body and is used to store
energy in the form of
phosphate molecules. When phosphate
molecules are attached to it, it is called
creatine phosphate and is capable of donating phosphate to
ADP in order to make
ATP. (ATP is the molecule which is converted into ADP with a release of
energy that the body is then able to use.)
