The direct synthesis of ATP in glycolysis occurs by which of the following mechanisms?
- A.Oxidative phosphorylation
- B.Photophosphorylation
- C.Substrate-level phosphorylationCorrect answer
- D.Chemiosmosis
Solution
ATP synthesis during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle occurs via substrate-level phosphorylation, where a phosphate group is directly transferred from a substrate to ADP.
