Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In a eukaryotic cell, glycolysis takes place within the mitochondria, whereas in a prokaryotic cell, it occurs in the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since enzymes for glycolysis are found in the cytoplasm, Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm itself. It is the common pathway to break down glucose by both aerobic as well as anaerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
