Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Substrate-level phosphorylation is a metabolic reaction that results in the formation of ATP by the direct transfer of a phosphate group to ADP from another phosphorylatedcompound via an enzyme.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Substrate-level phosphorylation is the direct formation of ATP or GTP by transferring a phosphate group from a high energy compound to an ADP or GDP molecule. There are two reactions in glycolysis that involve substrate-level phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Substrate-level phosphorylation, which is a process of forming ATP by the physical addition of a phosphate group to ADP can take place in the cytoplasm during glycolysis or inside the mitochondrial matrix during the Krebs cycle.
