Much of the energy released in catabolic reactions is captured in atp for use in other reactions. when the phosphate is transferred directly from an organic molecule to adp in order to produce atp without an energized membrane, what has occurred?

Here is the answer. Based on the given description above wherein phosphate is transferred directly from an organic molecule to adp in order to produce atp without an energized membrane, the one that occurred is called substrate level phosphorylation. Hope this answers your question.
