In the final step of glycolysis ATP is made through the process of:
|
|
Substrate Level Phosphorylation
|
|
|
Oxidative Phosphorylation
|
|
|
Photo-Phosphorylation
|
|
|
RedOx Reactions
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The amount of ATP that is generated by glycolysis is relatively low. Two ATP molecules are required to start glycolysis (from glucose), and four are generated by substrate-level phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The last step in glycolysis is catalyzed by the enzyme pyruvate kinase (the enzyme in this case is named for the reverse reaction of pyruvate’s conversion into PEP) and results in the production of a second ATP molecule by substrate-level phosphorylation and the compound pyruvic acid (or its salt form, pyruvate).
