Which biochemical process involves the transfer of a phosphate group from a high-energy phosphate compound to a lower-energy compound, resulting in the generation of energy?

A Phosphorylation ✓
B Glycolysis
C Fermentation
D Oxidative Phosphorylation

Explanation

Phosphorylation is the process by which a phosphate group is transferred from a high-energy phosphate compound, such as ATP, to a lower-energy compound, resulting in the generation of energy.

Mnemonic
