Answer:

The molecule which is considered a substrate in susbtrate-level phosphorilation is PEP (phosphoenolpyruvic)

Step-by-step explanation:

A substrate level phosphorylation is a chemist reaction where you get ATP by ADP + P

A high energy phosphate substrate, yields its high energy phosphate to ADP.

ADP + P ----> ATP.

In glycolysis, the enzyme pyruvate kinase catalyzes the reaction that converts phosphoenolpyruvic acid into pyruvate.
