Which of the following reaction involves substrate-level phosphorylation?
Options
- A2-phosphoglycerate to 2- phosphoenolpyruvate
- BFructose to Fructose -6- phosphate
- CPhosphoenolpyruvic acid to pyruvic acid
- DFructose 1 , 6- bisphosphate to PGAL and DHAP
Correct answer
C. Phosphoenolpyruvic acid to pyruvic acid
Step-by-step solution
ATP is synthesized in a reaction when phosphoenol pyruvic acid is converted to pyruvic acid. This direct synthesis of ATP is called transphosphorylation or substrate-level phosphorylation.
