Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction shown in Figure 5.4 involves substrate-level phosphorylation, which occurs when a phosphate group is transferred from a substrate molecule to ADP, forming ATP. This process occurs in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation involve the use of a proton gradient to generate ATP, while fermentation only produces a small amount of ATP through substrate-level phosphorylation.
