Substrate-level phosphorylation is a type of reaction that results in the formation of ATP by
direct transfer and donation of a phosphoryl ( PO3− ) group to ADP. During the conversion of
succinyl CoA to succinic acid in Krebs cycle, substrate level phosphorylation takes place.

Gibberellin causes fruits like apple to elongate and improve its shape. It also promotes bolting
(Internode elongation) in beet, cabbages etc.
