Answer

The two molecules are ADP and creatine phosphate (CP). Catalysis is accomplishesd by the enzymes myokinase and creatine kinase. Myokinase adenylate kinase) catalyses the transfer of a Pi from one ADP to another: ADP+ADP<>ATP+AMP ( magnesium is necessary for this reaction)

Work Step by Step

Creatine kinase (phosphocreatine kinase) catlyzes the reaction that obtains a Pi from creatine phosphate (PCr) and donates it to an ADP: ADP+PCr<>ATP+Cr
