Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where is the PRECISE LOCATION of glycolysis’s process?
A
Mitochondrial Matrix
B
Cytoplasm/Cytosol
C
Inner Mitochondrial Membrane
D
Outer Mitochondrial Membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Glucose enters heterotrophic cells in two ways. One method is through secondary active transport in which the transport takes place against the glucose concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-2: -Assertion: Glycolysis is the only process in aerobic respiration. Reason: It is partial oxidation of glucose that occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell of all living organisms. Q. Glycolysis is found in the cytoplasm of virtually all kinds of aerobic/anaerobic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and involves two stages which break up glucose – a 6-carbon molecule. During the first stage, glucose is broken into two phosphorylated 3-carbon compounds through a series of reactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis occurs under anaerobic conditions. Glycolysis occurs only in the cytosol. (c) A researcher estimates that, in a certain organism, the complete metabolism of glucose produces 30 molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct option is A True Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm.
