What type of phosphorylation occurs in glycolysis?


Open in App
Solution

Phosphorylation:

  1. Phosphorylation includes the addition of phosphate groups in certain compounds.
  2. It mainly occurs with sugars and proteins.
  3. ATP is formed from ADP by the process of phosphorylation.
  4. Substrate-level phosphorylation refers to forming ATP from ADP and a phosphorylated intermediate.
  5. The amount of ATP that is generated by glycolysis is relatively low.

Hence, substrate-level phosphorylation occurs in glycolysis.
