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” means the splitting of glucose. The first step of the processoccurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and yields a small amount of energy (measured in units of ATP) and two molecules of pyruvate. The other stepsoccur in the mitochondria.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: There are two simple reasons why glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell: The enzymes required for the glycolytic pathway are only found in the cytoplasm. A transport protein is required to move glucose across membranes.
