whats the difference between substrate level phosphorylation and oxidative?

 

[lDanny]

this is what I remember.

SLP- adds a PO4 to ADP to form ATP
OLP- ETC and ATP Synthase

Substrate level phosphorylation is the attachment of a phosphate onto a molecule by another molecule. For example:

GTP + ADP ---> GDP + ATP

Oxidative phosphorylation is whereby a phosphate is attached onto ADP by means of harnessing the energy produced from a proton gradient that was established by previous oxidation reactions, e.g. ATP Synthase phosphorylates ADP to ATP by a proton gradient in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria.
