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” 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: The Glycolysis process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
