What are the two types of ATP synthesis and how do they differ?

[gracy]

I came across a term "indirect atp formation"I am not sure what it is ?
What is the difference between direct and indirect atp synthesis?I think substrate level phosphorylation (where a molecule directly donates a phosphate to ADP) is direct atp synthesis.Indirect atp synthesis is oxidative phosphorylation (in the electron transport chain; using the H+ gradient to attach inorganic phosphate to ADP).
Right?

The phosphate need not come from the molecule, the energy liberated during the conversion might just help in adding that Pi to ADP/GDP, eg:succinyl CoA to succinic acid in kreb's cycle.

Yes, by PMF(proton motive force) and oxysomes(F_oF₁ particle)
