Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down within the cytoplasm of a cell to form pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Anaerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm only.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaerobic respiration occurs only in the cell cytoplasm.
