Question

ATP synthesis by substrate-level phosphorylations, transfer of 1P from BPG to ADP, yields:

Answer 1

Phosphoglycerate kinase catalyzes the transfer of a high-energy phosphate from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to ADP, forming one molecule of ATP. This process is substrate-level phosphorylation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The transfer of a high-energy phosphate from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) to ADP, catalyzed by the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase, yields one molecule of ATP. This process is known as substrate-level phosphorylation. In this reaction, the aldehyde group on 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is oxidized to a carboxyl group, resulting in the formation of 3-phosphoglycerate.
