Question

We can divide aerobic catabolism into five segments (if we consider glycolysis to have two. In which of the segments is GTP generated by substrate level phosphorylation?a. glycolysis (hexose).

Answer 1

e. oxidative phosphorylation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation. It is a biochemical process that occurs in cells. It is the final metabolic process (catabolism) of cellular respiration, after glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. From a glucose molecule, 38 molecules of ATP are obtained by oxidative phosphorylation.

Within cells, oxidative phosphorylation occurs in biological membranes. In prokaryotes it is the plasma membrane and in eukaryotes it is the inner membrane of the two of which the mitochondrial consists. NADH and FADH2, electron donor molecules that were "charged" during the citric acid cycle, are used in an intricate mechanism (involving numerous enzymes such as NADH-Q reductase, cytochrome c oxidase and cytochrome reductase), thanks to the H + pump that mobilizes the protons against a membrane gradient.
