Question

ATP formation by glycolysis
Options
A occurs through aerobic respiration
B is an extremely efficient method of acquiring energy by the cell
C requires oxygen
D involves substrate-level phosphorylation
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The ATP produced during glycolysis is generated directly by an enzyme transferring a phosphate group from a phosphorylated intermediate to ADP. This is known as substrate-level phosphorylation. Glycolysis itself does not require oxygen (it is anaerobic) and is not extremely efficient (it captures only a small fraction of glucose's energy).

Hint

How are the ATP molecules in glycolysis made: directly from a substrate or via a gradient?
