Where does glycolysis take place in cells?
A
Cytoplasm
B
Mitochondrion
C
Endoplasmic Reticulum
D
Ribosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Final answer: The Glycolysis process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -In cells, glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm. The remaining pathways, starting with pyruvate oxidation, occur in the mitochondria.
