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: -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. It is an ongoing process as your cells have a constant need for energy.
