Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ATP’s of glycolysis are produced through
A
chemiosmosis
B
substrate-level phosphorylation
C
oxidative phosphorylation
D
photophosphorylation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two ATP molecules are required to start glycolysis (from glucose), and four are generated by substrate-level phosphorylation. An additional two NADH molecules are generated, which can be used to generate another three to five ATP molecules through the electron transport chain in the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: 6 ATP are formed through substrate-level phosphorylation from one molecule of glucose when it is completely oxidized.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inside the mitochondria is where most of your ATP are created, but some ATP can be made in the cytoplasm through a process called substrate-level phosphorylation. This is a process of forming ATP by the physical addition of a phosphate group to ADP.
