Question

Which of the following takes place in substrate level phosphorylation?

(a) Oxidation of one molecule of substrate is linked to synthesis of more than one ATP molecule

(b) High energy intermediate compounds cannot be isolated

(c) Only mitochondrial reactions participate in ATP formation

(d) Substrate reacts to form a product containing a high energy bond

I have been asked this question in an interview for internship.

I'm obligated to ask this question of ATP Synthesis-1 topic in chapter Oxidative Phosphorylation and Photophosphorylation of Biochemistry

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) Substrate reacts to form a product containing a high energy bond

To explain: Substrate reacts to form a product containing a high energy bond.
