What is it called when a phosphate group is transferred to ADP from a phosphorylated intermediate?
A) Substrate-level phosphorylation
B) Oxidative phosphorylation
C) Phosphorylation
D) Succinate dehydrogenase
E) Succinyl CoA synthetase
Substrate-Level Phosphorylation
Substrate-level phosphorylation is a metabolic process where a phosphate group is directly transferred from a substrate molecule to ADP, forming ATP, occurring in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
Phosphorylated Intermediate
A molecule that has been temporarily phosphorylated (had a phosphate group added) during a metabolic reaction, often playing a crucial role in energy transfer.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Substrate-level phosphorylation is the process where a phosphate group is directly transferred to ADP from a phosphorylated intermediate to form ATP, without the involvement of a proton gradient or ATP synthase.
