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: -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: -Final answer: The Glycolysis process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis is a cytoplasmic pathway which breaks down glucose into two three-carbon compounds and generates energy. Glucose is trapped by phosphorylation, with the help of the enzyme hexokinase. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is used in this reaction and the product, glucose-6-P, inhibits hexokinase.
