Which two stages of aerobic respiration generate ATP directly by substrate level phosphorylation?
- A. Glycolysis and the electron transport chain
- B. The link reaction and the Krebs cycle
- C. The Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
- D. Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
Explanation
In glycolysis and the Krebs cycle a phosphate is transferred straight from a substrate to ADP, giving 4 ATP total per glucose. The electron transport chain makes the rest of the ATP indirectly, through the proton gradient, which is oxidative rather than substrate level.
