Biology Question on cellular respiration
Glycolysis occurs in
A
cytosol
B
mitochondria
C
golgi complex
D
ribosomes
Answer
cytosol
Explanation
Solution
Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of the cell cytoplasmas glucose and other enzymesthat are required for the glycolic pathway are easily found in higher concentrations in the cytosol.
- It is a common phase that takes place between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The enzymes occur in the cytosol.
- The cytoplasm is a thick solution composed of water, salts, and protein mainly.
- It occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Therefore, Glycolysis occurs in cytosol.
