[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
In eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the:
|
|
mitochondrial inner membrane
|
|
|
cytosol
|
|
|
mitochondrial matrix.
|
|
|
Golgi complex
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. Within the mitochondrion, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative metabolism occurs at the internal folded mitochondrial membranes (cristae ).
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is the partial oxidation of glucose to produce pyruvate, which is then transferred to mitochondria for further oxidation. The cytosol is the fluid in which the cell’s organelles are located. No, glycolysis does not takes place in the mitochondria. It occurs in the cytosol.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm where one 6 carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to generate two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate.
