Question

During EMP pathway, ATP is produced through

• A. Oxidative phosphorylation
• B. Cyclic phosphorylation
• C. Substrate phosphorylation
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Substrate phosphorylation

During the EMP pathway or glycolysis, there is a stepwise oxidation as well as dephosphorylation of organic substrate to produce energy. A net of 2 ATP are directly produced by substrate level phosphorylation.

So, the correct answer is 'Substrate phosphorylation'.
