In order to get inorganic phosphorous into organic compounds, the phosphate ion is incorporated via

  • A.substrate level phosphorylation
  • B.oxidative phosphorylation
  • C.both (a) and (b)
  • D.DNA

Answer: C

Correct answer: both (a) and (b)

Inorganic phosphate is drawn into organic combination by both mechanisms: substrate-level phosphorylation, where a phosphate is transferred directly from a high-energy intermediate, and oxidative phosphorylation, where ATP synthase condenses ADP and Pi using the proton gradient. From ATP the phosphate then passes to every other phosphorylated compound.
