Substrate level phosphorylation in glycolysis is catalyzed by

A
Glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase
B
Pyruvate kinase
C
Phosphofructokinase
D
Enolase
High-Yield Explanation
In the reaction, catalyzed by phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphate is transferred from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate onto ADP, forming ATP (substrate-level phosphorylation) and 3-phosphoglycerate. The phosphate of phosphoenolpyruvate is transferred to ADP in another substrate-level phosphorylation catalyzed by pyruvate kinase to form two molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose oxidized.
