Main Difference-Substrate Level Phosphorylation vs Oxidative Phosphorylation Substrate level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation are two types of phosphorylation processes that occur inside living organisms. Phosphorylation refers to the transfer of phosphate group from one compound to another. Generally, the term 'Phosphorylation' is used to describe the formation of ATP. Organisms use energy in the form of ATP. In eukaryotes, the organelle which produces ATP is mitochondrium. But, some of the ATPs are produced inside the cytoplasm as well. The main difference between substrate level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation is that substrate level phosphorylation is a direct phosphorylation of ADP with a phosphate group by using the energy obtained from a coupled reaction whereas oxidative phosphorylation is the production of ATP from the oxidized NADH and FADH .
