The transfer of a phosphate group (Pi) from an intermediate in the glycolysis pathway to ADP is an example of harvesting energy by ____.

A) electron transfer phosphorylation
B) acetyl-CoA formation
C) reduction
D) oxidation
E) substrate-level phosphorylation

Substrate-Level Phosphorylation

ATP formation by the transfer of a phosphate group from a phosphorylated molecule to ADP.

Glycolysis

Set of reactions that convert glucose to two pyruvate for a net yield of two ATP and two NADH.

Phosphate Group

A functional group consisting of a phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms, crucial in the structure of DNA and energy transfer.

  • Master the fundamental aspects and goals of cellular metabolic operations, especially glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transfer phosphorylation.
  • Understand the biochemical basis of energy production from ATP during cellular respiration.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The transfer of a phosphate group from an intermediate in the glycolysis pathway to ADP is an example of substrate-level phosphorylation, which is the transfer of a phosphate group from a high-energy molecule to ADP to generate ATP. This process does not involve electron transport or reduction/oxidation reactions.
