Which of the following will produce adenosine triphosphate by substrate-level phosphorylation?
Options
- A2-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoenol pyruvate
- BGlucose to Glucose-6-phosphate
- CPhosphoenol pyruvic acid to pyruvic acid
- DFrutose 1, 6-biphosphate to PGAL and DHAP
Correct answer
C. Phosphoenol pyruvic acid to pyruvic acid
Step-by-step solution
Glycolysis is a process that breaks down glucose to 3 C - compound pyruvic acid. In the step to convert phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate, ATP is released. This step gives out energy in the form of ATP.
