During the conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate in glycolysis, ATP is produced. What is the name of this specific mechanism of ATP generation?
Q1. During the conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate in glycolysis, ATP is produced. What is the name of this specific mechanism of ATP generation?
Answer: Substrate-level phosphorylation
Explanation: Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs in glycolysis when a phosphate is directly transferred to ADP; oxidative phosphorylation requires a proton gradient and ATP synthase.
