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 for cellular processes?

A Phosphorylation
B Dephosphorylation
C Oxidative phosphorylation
D Substrate-level phosphorylation
Phosphorylation is the process by which a phosphate group is transferred from a high-energy compound, such as ATP, to a lower-energy compound, resulting in the generation of energy for cellular processes.
