Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The generation of ATP in the reaction shown in Figure 5.4, without seeing the figure but based on common biochemical processes, is most likely through substrate-level phosphorylation. This process involves the direct transfer of a phosphate group to ADP from a phosphorylated intermediate, a mechanism distinct from oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation, which involve electron transport chains, and different from glycolysis and fermentation, which are metabolic pathways that can involve substrate-level phosphorylation as a step within them.
