Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs when a phosphoryl group is transferred from a donor molecule (e.g. an intermediate) to ADP, forming ATP. Both the phosphorylation of intermediates and the formation of ATP in glycolysis involve substrate-level phosphorylation.

The other options are not applicable to glycolysis. The product-level phosphorylation and anabolic phosphorylation do not occur in glycolysis. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the electron transport chain, which takes place in mitochondria, not in the cytoplasm where glycolysis occurs. Aerobic phosphorylation is another term for oxidative phosphorylation, so it is also not applicable to glycolysis.
