      ATP produced during glycolysis is a result of substrate level phosphorylation. Explain.

    Answer:

                    Substrate-level phosphorylation is a type of metabolic reaction that results in the formation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) or Guanosine Triphosphate (GTP) by the direct transfer and donation of a phosphoryl  group to Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) or Guanosine Diphosphate (GDP) from a phosp'horylated reactive intermediate. In glycolysis substrate level phosphorylation occurs in following two reactions 2 molecules of 1, 3-diphosphoglyceric acid react with 2 molecules of ADP to form 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid and 2 molecules of ATP . 2 molecules of phosphoenolpyruvic acid reacts with 2 molecules of ADP to form 2 molecules of pyruvic acid and 2 ATP.
