Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] Substrate-level-phosphorylation means synthesis of ATP by utilising energy released directly by the substrates.
In glycolysis there are two steps in which ATP is synthesised.
In Kreb’s cycle, there is only one step where GTP is synthesized when succinyl CoA is converted to succinic acid.
