TP synthesis in glycolysis: substrate-level phosphorylation The ATP that is generated in glycolysis is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation, a very different mechanism than the one used to produce ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. Phosphorylation reactions involve the addition of a phosphate group to another molecule.

 TP synthesis in glycolysis: substrate-level phosphorylation

The ATP that is generated in glycolysis is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation, a very different mechanism than the one used to produce ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. Phosphorylation reactions involve the addition of a phosphate group to another molecule.

Sort the statements into the appropriate bin depending on whether or not they correctly describe some aspect of substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis.

Correct:

-One of the substrates is a molecule derived from the breakdown of glucose

-An enzyme is required in order for the reaction to occur

-A bond must be broken between an organic molecule and phosphate before ATP can form.

Incorrect:

-The phosphate group added to ADP to make ATP comes from free inorganic phosphate ions.

-The enyzmes involved in ATP synthesis must be attached to a membrane to produce ATP.
