Detailed explanation-1: -The process which takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell is glycolysis. It is the first step of cellular respiration and occurs in the presence or absence of oxygen to oxidize glucose to produce two molecules of pyruvate, two NADH and two ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoplasm is the fluid inside the cell. It contains other tiny cell parts that have specific functions, including the Golgi complex, the mitochondria, and the endoplasmic reticulum. The cytoplasm is where most chemical reactions take place and where most proteins are made.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cytoplasm is the site of most bacterial metabolism. During catabolic reactions larger molecules are broken down to obtain cellular building block molecules and energy; during anabolic reactions cellular molecules and macromolecules are synthesized.
