Reaction 6: Hydrolysis of Phosphate;
Synthesis of ATP
One of the phosphate groups undergoes hydrolysis to form the
acid and a phosphate ion, giving off energy. This first energy
producing reaction is coupled with the next endothermic reaction
making ATP. The phosphate is transferred directly to an ADP
to make ATP.
This reaction is catalyzed by phosphoglycerokinase.
