MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and involves two stages which break up glucose – a 6-carbon molecule. During the first stage, glucose is broken into two phosphorylated 3-carbon compounds through a series of reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Final answer: The Glycolysis process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell cytoplasm because the glucose and other related enzymes required for the glycolytic pathway can be easily found there in high concentration. The cytoplasm may be a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell wall.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis is the process in which glucose is broken down to produce energy. It produces two molecules of pyruvate, ATP, NADH and water. The process takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell and does not require oxygen. It occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic organisms.
